Upgrade Storagecan I mix citation styles?
I'm a new user so this may be old territory--I've tried doing some searching around but can't find anything that addresses this issue exactly.
My field uses a hybrid citation style that is mostly like Chicago, but inline citations are formatted thus (Baggins 1994:3) with a colon rather than a comma and space. I discovered that the American Anthropological Association citation style gives me the correct format for inline citations, but the bibliography is completely different.
Is there a way to use the AAA inline style but Chicago for bibliography? Do I have to make my own style somehow?

I'd think https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step is a better entrance point for making the changes yourself than the specification.
You could also look at some other styles. The American Sociological Association style might be a good fit. It's closer to Chicago Manual and has the colon for in-text citations.
The only journal I'm aware of that follows these guidelines is "Ethnomusicology" and I imagine you probably don't get a lot of requests from our corner of academia.

instructions for that journal then.
