Capitalization of ibid in the middle of a footnote (turabian)

Phenox

Hi all!

Question: do we or don't we capitalize ibid in these three footnotes:

1. See for the relevant pages ibid., 65–71.

2. Beside mentioning Aristotle, Smith (ibid., 17n38) notes...

3. “In short, ideology as a symbolic confirmation of the past and utopia as a symbolic opening towards the future are complementary; if cut off from each other then can lead to a form of political pathology” (ibid., 29-30).

I feel like Turabian doesn't say a lot about the "creative" part surrounding complex substantive notes. My supervisor is asking me to capitalize ibid in these footnotes, but Zotero doesn't. Any thoughts? Thanks.

It's possible to force this to uppercase, but my intuition -- and explicitly the Chicago Manual in 14.29 -- say to only uppercase it at the beginning of a sentence:

The soil of the Big-prairie, which is of no great extent notwithstanding its name, is a rich, cool sand; that is to say, one of the most desirable description” (ibid., 63).

Typically, though not always, Turabian follows the Manual.
