1905a, 1905b

JGebauer
For several items with the same author and year I would like to number eg

Moser 1905a
Moser 1905b

Chicago styles do this automatically, but I cannot find the option to do this. Can someone help?

I need this both in the citation and the bibliography, and naturally, items should then correspond...

Thanks!

    You will need disambiguate-add-year-suffix="true" see http://citationstyles.org/downloads/specification.html#disambiguation
  • JGebauer
    Thanks, yes that did it. However, it only works when there is no reference to another footnote in the cite. That's ok, but if it is possible to have both I would like to know...

    Thanks for the link as well, very helpful!

    Now also the full note citation gets the suffix, so it reads:

    Andreas Moser: Konzert in D-dur, op. 61, Einführung, in: Violinschule in 3 Bänden, Bd. 3, Berlin 1905a, S. 180–184.

    Any way to suppress the suffix here?

    The subsequent cite reads

    Moser 1905a.

    which is correct and should stay like this.

    I think this might work if you set the year suffix explicitly (text-variable="year-suffix") but I'm not 100% sure.
  • JGebauer
    But I would have to explicitly unset it, no? Can I set it and suppress it?
  • adamsmith
    No, but have you tried? I think if you set it explicitly in one place it won't appear in others.
  • JGebauer
    Yes I have tried, and yes you are right, but no that doesn't help me. I don't want it there at all. So is there a way to not have it appear at all for one type of citation (the first one) but make it appear in subsequent citations, where the note only reads "Moser 1905a"?

    Probably not, and I can certainly live with it, it just looks a little strange to have a full note citation, where the date has a suffix appended, like above.
  • JGebauer
    The main problem I am now having is this:

    Suffixes are not appended when the citation refers to the original citation, like:

    Moser 1905 [Anm. 5].

    Is there a way to have both?
  • adamsmith
    I'd guess not, but by now I don't really know what you have in the style exactly anymore.
    In general, though, the suffixes are for disambiguation, i.e. they only affect otherwise identical citations, which, as soon as you have the op cit, isn't the case anymore.
