It's been this way for about 2 weeks, now

The baby simply refuses to go to sleep at night without spending 10-30 minutes screaming first. She napped so wonderfully today, but comes bedtime, and she has to scream like hell. Why??

We're still doing a lot of holding her for comfort, since she's jsut 4 months old. She seems to be ready to start weaning away from that now, though, and Eric letting her play in her co-sleeper alone while "checking" on her every few minutes, like you suggest, and she seems okay with that much of the time.

Eric thinks the screaming was related to him swaddling her -- maybe she's jsut outgrowing the swaddling. She's been better with him since he stopped trying to do that.
