Create netlist without renumbering components

Hi all,
I draw 2 identical cards for analog audio. I would like to name my constituents R1l (l of left) and R1r (r of right) in the diagram.
When I request the creation of the netlist, it renames me the components in R1l1 and R1r1
Is it possible to disable renumbering ?
Thanks
François

I think trying to use the letters in the middle is the cause of your problem. The program wants to renumber them because it doesn’t see them as valid. At least that is what I think is going on. I have up trying ‘creative’ things with my numbering.

KiCad expects the last character of a reference to be a number for single unit components. A letter indicates that what unit of a multi unit part is used.

So in this case move the left and right indicator forward (so use Rr1, Rl1 for example)

That’s fighting the system, as numeric suffix are expected by the tools, as they check annotate.
Spice also expects prefixes to be R,C etc,
The common convention for Stereo/multi channels, is to use R101, R201 approach - 1xx are Left and 2xx are Right.
Also, lower case l looks too much like a 1 to be useful, so is best avoided.
