Style Request Modern Language Association - Note with Bibliography

Jon Rubin
Hi - I need a bit of a hybrid style.
Angelaki
http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/journal.asp?issn=0969-725x&linktype=44

They say that they use MLA, but: from their editor
"Please find below MLA stylings for different items in notes and bibliography. _Angelaki_ prefers authors to provide both notes and bibliography. The below examples of notes are for authors who are not providing a separate bibliography. Where you are providing both notes and bibliography it is not necessary to provide information in the notes that will be given in the bibliography."

So it's not a full note, so long as I provide a bibliography (which I will). However, having looked at a recent journal article, they don't want the "print" or "web" at the end.
I'd just use MLA and stick the references in footnotes - but they use ibid. and that's the point where I need a proper note style.
Many thanks, Jon.

    Actually, I managed to hack together the ibib note citation section from the Chicago-short-note into the MLA style to create an MLA-note-with-bibliography style that seems to work ...

    Dear Jon,

    I am also trying to format an article for Angelaki. Is it possible to share the hybrid style you created.

    Thanks

    Dear Emre
    If I can find it, of course !
    If not, I'll see if I can remake one - though it's been a while since I played with the styles - how soon do you need it ?

    Dear Emre,
    I had a quick look at the Angelaki guide for authors - and currently, they just ask for :
    "Work accepted for publication in the journal is required to conform to the Modern Language Association Handbook for Writers of Research Papers"

    so no special hacking required - and there is an MLA 6th edition note style already available on the repository.

    Dear Jon,

    Thanks for the quick reply. I used the MLA style from zotero and it works alright. I was looking at the older articles that I used as reference and that was when I got confused. The relatively newer article confirms that MLA is ok.
    here is the link to article just in case if someone else is lead out of track.

    Thanks for the help

    Best
