I made a hierarchical schematic, so I got A1/R2 A2/R2 A3/R2 ..., no
need to renumber schematic pages.

A script to rename the hierachical prefix of all parts names in the
block (buffer?) would be what I'd need.  A1/* -> A2/*

Saving a copy of the block into a file, doing the renumber with sed,
and importing the resulting copies was what I did.  

Saving the block from the buffer was what I could not figure out how
to do, instead I deleted everything else, and "saved as" a new name.
Then I failed to delete the netlist from the block which also got
"renumbered" and some minor problems resulted....

Cheers
