Chicago 17th edition, short notes, bibliography, author-title subsequent

Does anyone know if there is an option for Chicago/Turabian with short note, bibliography, and then subsequent author-title citation? I need this format for a publisher and it looks like Zotero doesn't have it. Thanks!

Does the shortened notes and bibliography, classic variants option for the 18th edition meet your needs? This carries forward options from earlier editions such as the place of publication and chapter page numbers that are no longer the default choice but are still allowable in the Manual.

If not, it wouldn't be too difficult to add a subsequent author-title variant for shortened notes with the 17th edition.

If the relevant style sheet is available on the publisher website, this can also be added as a dependent style.

Thanks for this. However, this doesn't work because the first citation needs to be shortened as well to only the author-title, as shortened notes is in the 17th edition. I am not really sure how to add a style sheet, either. Any recommendations?

Yes, that is exactly how shortened notes continues to work in the 18th edition; try the style called Chicago Manual of Style 18th edition (shortened notes and bibliography, classic variants).

If your publisher has the style sheet on their website, simply add a link to this thread.

Thanks! For whatever reason, the last time I selected that format it didn't take, but I thought it had. I just refreshed my footnotes again and it fixed my problem. Thanks again!
