Thank you very much for this. At first glance this seems to be doing the job. I use markdown (obsidian with plugins) and the citations render as I would expect, and remain so when I export to word.
The only thing for me is trying to customise a default MHRA edition like this to include ibid. I know it has always been the case that MHRA note style CSLs ignore this because the style guides do not allow ibid across two pages but I've always found I was less likely to need to manually add shorthand references than I ended up doing with manually adding 'ibid.' so I changed this on the 3rd edition. Only problem is that the method I did to do this in the 3rd edition (that I found via this forum page https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/83620/mhra-with-ibid) does not work when I put the necessary section into this new csl*.
*Although it is worth remembering that I am a complete idiot with this sort of thing and have no idea what I am doing.
The changes I had to make to the style were very minor, so whatever you did in the last version should just work. But I assume you made a small error somewhere. Run it through https://validator.citationstyles.org/ otherwise share your code via PasteBin or similar.
It seems apparent that in all versions of MHRA CSLs that the shortened footnotes do not render properly with Zotero 7. Rather than Surname + Shortened Title, it is simply "Surname."
Yes, I have found this too. This is also happening if you use the previous 3rd edition style. It would be good to get this changed, as it is incorrect.
@adamsmith Do you know much about this? We currenlty only print the short title if the citation is disambiguated, but I see the following here.
Abbreviated references to works already cited (see §7.12)
In all references to the same source after the first, the shortest intelligible form should be used. The abbreviated reference will normally be the author’s name followed by the title (abbreviated where appropriate, for example by dropping any subtitle), the volume number (if applicable), and page reference:

I have submitted a PR. Can you give this a test ride?
