Style: German, with Footnotes in short (author-date-page) Style?

IsaakM · February 28, 2017

Is there something like this? My Prof favours this style. It seems to be an unusual mix of Harvard / APA style (brief author-date-page citation) and Chicago Style (footnotes and bibliography at the end).

I think we're working on something you're looking for here: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/64589/style-request-music-theory-spectrum#latest

For a German style, see if https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=id:die-bachelorarbeit-samac-et-al-note works for you.

@damnation Yeah, looks quite similar to what I want. Only difference I can see: yours uses English terminology like "Ibid.". Nice work though!

@adamsmith Thanks, looks like what I was looking for!

@adamsmith I've been looking for this for weeks. Thank you very much for that.
You're great.

In the meantime, the authors' surnames are capitalized in this style. What can I do just to have the initial capitalized?

In line 50 remove font-variant="small-caps".

@damnation Thanks for your answer.
Is this? < name - part name="family" font - variant="small-caps" / >
Does it correct when I delete it (font-variant = "small-caps")?

I want to do this:
Ramsay 1980, p. 230, No:18.

also "p." instead of "s." I want to write. How can I do that?

Thank you very much for your help.

yes, that's the part to delete. If you want the style in English instead of German, remove default-locale="de-DE" (or de-AT forgot which one we use here) at the top. Not 100% sure this will be entirely smooth, though. The style isn't intended to work in English. There are others, like International Organization or World Politics, that are author-year in footnote styles in English.

@adamsmith
You're great. :)
Thank you so much. "World Politics" is doing what I want. :)

After a while, I will try to create my own style.
