I have just updated my essay and see that many of my problems that I posted are solved!! Much thanks!!
There remains only one problem:
when i cite different books by the same author, subsequent citations only comes up with author's name (instead of also with title) - so the different books are not differentiated, and appears that Im referring to only 1 book (but which?)
OK, perfect that's the one issue I've been able to replicate.
Unfortunately I don't think it's possible to solve this at the moment - but I'll see if someone has an idea.
Until then, the best workaround I can think of is to make use of the suffix field for those - i.e.
write ", Christmas Carol, p. 52" in the suffix field, so that the citation will read
Dickens, Christmas Carol, p. 52
that's fare from elegant, but the best I can think of.
The alternative is to use the "show editor" window in the add citation dialogue to insert the title of the works. This won't be over-written, but the problem is that your citations won't be refreshed than - neither when you update your database, nor when you want to change the citation style, so I generally would discourage this option.
Thanks Adamsmith, now I know what the suffix function is for (I didnt) :)
For now this is fine, i will do this.
do let us know if there are updates for the MHRA (biblio)
Thanks very much!
@adamsmith, I haven't been following closely, but will the disambiguate condition help with these?<choose> <if disambiguate="true"> <text variable="title"/> </if> </choose>

Thanks so much for Zotero! Great job, MUCH appreciated :)
- Can/should I use Zotero with Mendeley? Sorry if my question sounds stupid...Thank you for your advice!
- A small thing - in the biblio for MHRA style, there should be no period at the end... currently there are.
THANK YOU (as usual)!!
