MHRA style: how to always show book title for single-book authors

sneakyfox
Hi,

I'm would like to have the MHRA style (notes with bibliography) show the book title (for repeated citations) even for authors which only have a single book in the bibliography.

Currently, the style displays the full title in the first citation, and then only the author-name for subsequent citations (until a second title by the same author is added).

What do I need to change in the style file to do that?

Thanks!

    Within the inline citations, layout, conditional, if subsequent section it handles subsequent citations of the same item. You'll want to call the "title-note" macro somewhere within there where it suits you.
    That corresponds to code lines 437-444.

    Thank you! That seems to work.

    For reference, in the lines that damnation mentioned, I simply replaced

    text macro="disambiguate"

    with

    text macro="title-note"

    Thanks again.

    I discovered a minor problem with this solution:

    It seems that by calling the "title-note" macro Zotero doesn't use short titles for subsequent citations; it will print the full item title every time. Is there a way I can fix this?
