I'm using Turabian 8th edition (full note) style manager. Is there a way to override the use "Ibid." and use "shortened footnote" even for consecutive footnotes using the same source?
For all footnotes or for specific ones? For all footnotes, that'd be possible by editing the style, but not without doing that (though you could just use Chicago Manual, which is a better style anyway, and has a no ibid version available).
for all footnotes. My institution follows the Turabian so I have to use that. Also, we are asked not to use "ibid." when it is the first or only note on the page. It's too time-consuming to try to change all the "ibids" manually, so I thought converting all the subsequent footnotes into shortened footnotes without using "ibid." will solve the problem
@adamsmith: Can you please teach me how to edit the Turabian style so I can use the "author-shortened title-date" format in lieu of "ibid." for subsequent references?
Note that you should turn this into a style with a different name (and id). If you have that, you'll just be able to switch to that style under "Set Document Preferences" in the Zotero add-on for your word processor.
I think it's because i have a long document with numerous footnotes so it takes time to let Zotero update the style from "ibid." to the shortened footnote style
yes, you're right ... I should give it more time ... I can now see that the footnotes are slowly being switched to the modified style one footnote at a time

For individual footnotes, no, there isn't.
