Style Request: Early Music History
I'm using a citation style (Cambridge University Press note) that almost fits the journal I'm preparing to submit to, except that it does not include "p." and "pp." for page numbers. Is there a way to adjust this?
"Authors' and editors' forenames should not be given, only initials: where possible, editors should be given for Festschriften, conference proceedings, symposia, etc. In titles, all important words in English should be capitalised; all other languages should follow prose-style capitalisation, except for journal and series titles which should follow English capitalisation. Titles of series should be included, in roman, where relevant. Journal and series volume numbers should be given in Arabic, volumes of a set in roman ('vol.' will not be used). Places and dates of publication should be included. Dissertation titles should be given in roman and enclosed in quotation marks. Page numbers should be preceded by 'p.' or 'pp.' in all contexts. The first citation of bibliographical reference should include all details; subsequent citations may use the author's surnames, short titles and relevant paper numbers only. Ibid. may be used, but not op. cit. or loc. cit."
Let me know if there are any amendments needed and provide them in the format:
"item type:
current output
wanted output"
(Sample paper here: https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/content/view/7E7BADB0B3BFB0D07B007C05C7C0B583/S0261127920000042a.pdf/creating_ms_c_author_workshop_court.pdf)
Can you please also edit the name of this thread to "Style Request: Early Music History" or something along those lines, so other users can find this thread easier? Thanks.
1) there is an unnecessary comma after the book title;
2) again for books, the publishing house shows instead of the place of publication;
3) the citation field includes a period at the end.
In case anybody is able and willing to fix it... Many thanks
For 3) we typically end citations, including in footnote styles, with a period (see e.g. Chicago). You can using prefix/suffix to add additional information for discursive notes.
by 2 I mean that the publisher should NOT be shown, and the publ place should instead be shown;
for 3): right, in fact I have customized Chicago in order to avoid this, that in complex humanities footnotes is a complete nuisance
thanks
city - comma - year, NO publisher!

I've fixed the issues minus issue 3.

It seems that issue 1 is still there for chapters in edited books (there is a still a wrong comma after the book title), but of course it is a minor problem.
Also: we need a comma and a space after the brackets with place and year:
NOT (Minneapolis, 2001)p. 275
BUT (Minneapolis, 2001), p. 275
Finally: "eds" has a period in the sample papers
Generally, it's way easier for me to understand the problem if you showcase them like this:
"item type: chapter
Current output: Mares, I. 2007......
Required Output: I. Mares 2007....."
Easier for me to see which "comma" you're talking about.
