Help with small modification to MHRA style (to author + title for subsequent references)
Hi
I need to make a small (non-MHRA) modification to the MHRA style, but I'm struggling to get to grips with the CSL. (I have perused the forums and looked at http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step and http://citationstyles.org/citation-style-language/documentation/).
I've been asked to use an author + short title form for every subsequent citation of a book/article irrespective of whether or not only one title by an author is cited in the thesis. (The MHRA style correctly defaults to author only for subsequent occurrences if only one text by an author exists in the document.)
Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction to modifying the style so it does this? I'm guessing it may be something quite simple that needs adding/modifying.
Many thanks in advance for any pointers!

https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/modern-humanities-research-association.csl#L84
should work.
Danny – if you follow adamsmith's instructions and delete those lines and rename the ID it works (v quick to do).
To share them, I'd just post the code to a public gist at gist.github.com and post a link here. People can then download the style by going to that page and using right-click-->save link as on the Raw link, the <> icon at the top right.
Installation instructions are here:

Do you have any suggestion?
