Show (short) title for one-book author subsequent citation

Hi,

Currently, with the standard MHRA style, for authors with only one book, Zotero will print the full title on first citation and then omit the title for subsequent citations. For authors with several books, it will print the short title on subsequent citations.

How do I make Zotero treat authors with one and with several books the same way? I.e. print full title on first sitation, short title on subsequent?

I previously tried using the 'title-note' macro instead of 'disambiguate', but that leads to Zotero using the full title for all citations.

Note: I have made another change to the standard MHRA style to use 'Ibid' on subsequent citations.

The code is here: https://pastebin.com/4zWcQGf1

Thank you!

    Earlier in your code, copy the title-note macro code to make a new macro (e.g., named title-note-short. In that new macro, change the reference to variable="title" to variable="title-short".

    In the citation part of the style code, under subsequent, call the title-short macro instead of the title macro.

    Thank you!

    That works well.
