Yes, but not as automatically as you may like. There is an option in Inset->Indexes and Tables->Indexes and Tables:Type=Bibliography an option under the heading 'Formatting the entries' a pick-list for 'Brackets'. You can select NONE.

If you select Brackets=NONE then [1][2][3][56][99] becomes 1 2 3 56 99 and you can then manually insert the brackets and the commas to get the desired [1,2,3,56,99].

Join multiple references?

Is there any (automatic) way to coalesce multiple bibliographic references onto a single one? I mean, something like [1-3,56,99] instead of [1][2][3][56][99]. As far as I have seen, there is no option in OOo to do that.

Answer Yes, but not as automatically as you may like. There is an option in Inset->Indexes and Tables->Indexes and Tables:Type=Bibliography an option under the heading 'Formatting the entries' a pick-list for 'Brackets'. You can select NONE.
