    hi Adamsmith

    I have just updated my essay and see that many of my problems that I posted are solved!! Much thanks!!

    There remains only one problem:
    when i cite different books by the same author, subsequent citations only comes up with author's name (instead of also with title) - so the different books are not differentiated, and appears that Im referring to only 1 book (but which?)

    Thank you so much for looking into this!

    With much appreciation, v

    OK, perfect that's the one issue I've been able to replicate.
    Unfortunately I don't think it's possible to solve this at the moment - but I'll see if someone has an idea.
    Until then, the best workaround I can think of is to make use of the suffix field for those - i.e.
    write ", Christmas Carol, p. 52" in the suffix field, so that the citation will read
    Dickens, Christmas Carol, p. 52
    that's fare from elegant, but the best I can think of.

    The alternative is to use the "show editor" window in the add citation dialogue to insert the title of the works. This won't be over-written, but the problem is that your citations won't be refreshed than - neither when you update your database, nor when you want to change the citation style, so I generally would discourage this option.

    Thanks Adamsmith, now I know what the suffix function is for (I didnt) :)
    For now this is fine, i will do this.
    do let us know if there are updates for the MHRA (biblio)
    Thanks very much!

    @adamsmith, I haven't been following closely, but will the disambiguate condition help with these?<choose>
    <if disambiguate="true">
    <text variable="title"/>
    </if>
    </choose>

    HELLO!

    Thanks so much for Zotero! Great job, MUCH appreciated :)

    - Can/should I use Zotero with Mendeley? Sorry if my question sounds stupid...Thank you for your advice!

    - A small thing - in the biblio for MHRA style, there should be no period at the end... currently there are.

    THANK YOU (as usual)!!

    I've added short titles where necessary for the MHRA styles on the csl 1.0 repository
