  • Does that mean that, in this case, I should actually avoid using "Type: musical_score" in the EXTRA section so that it defaults to my item type, i.e. "book"? Or better still The csl in my own derived style named "La main de Thot" reads: …
  • I don't understand. Even if it's generic, why does it create quotation marks when there is no container?
  • I am citing a BOOK of scores in an article. It is the collection of all the scores of an album by Francis Cabrel, Les beaux dégâts, so the book is also called Les beaux dégâts, and it contains a dozen scores of individual songs. I am citing the boo…
  • Thank you. I simply copied/pasted the whole article into a new Word doc, then did as you said, deleted each part of my biblio (web, discography...) and reinserted them back at the right place. I think it is now perfect. I did not know that it woul…
  • That was a great idea ! Thank you so much. I just created a document, cited 3 references, and got a bibliography, so it works. The only problem is that it doesn't work on the precise document where I need it, so now I need to understand why. It pr…
  • I just ran a test on my document. Changed it to MLA and refreshed. It works. Then changed it back to La main de Thôt and refreshed again. It did change it back, but to something that looks like Chicago, not taking the modifications, as I mentioned …
  • OK, so it shows perfectly in the editor, with the names in uppercase AND the right punctuation ... but in Word, neither of the two applies. Here is one example from my bibliography in the article: Low, Peter Alan. Translating Song. Epub file, Rou…
  • Sorry, it is working now in the editor. I will test it in Word.
  • Yes, I was wondering about the "ô". I have changed it. Now the id reads: http://www.zotero.org/styles/LamaindeThot so I have also changed this line to match it: I have restarted Zotero, tried to reinstall it. Now I don't get the message…
  • now that* I have modified... Sorry
  • Well, now that. I have modified the id to delete the spaces, the style editor tells me Error parsing style: Error: File is not valid XML Here is is again: https://pastebin.com/7FEVzPgN
  • I must be doing something wrong somewhere. When I try to import the CSL in Zotero, it says: "/Users/jean-charlesmeunier/Desktop/La main de Thot-author-date.csl" is not a valid CSL 1.0.1 style file, and may not work properly with Zotero. Are you s…
  • Sorry, I was not using the text field, which explains why it was not working... Thank you very much ! It does validate now ! However, when I apply it to my article in Microsoft Word, only the in-text citations are in UPPERCASE, but none of the fam…
  • Here is the link to pastebin. https://pastebin.com/nA0LwnLS I have edited it a little bit, but only the "info" part, trying to do something clean (entered "template" for Chicago, included the ISSN of the journal...) I have just tried it again in …
  • Maybe I should mention that I started from Chicago author-date, as it was the closest to what I needed
  • Dear adamsmith, Since your last message, I have spent a LOT of time teaching myself how to use CSL, and I finally managed to change the style to exactly what I wanted: not only "uppercase" family names, but also replacing ". " with ", "... This is…
  • Thank you very much, It says "majuscules" and they show an example with big caps, so I doubt THEY would accept small caps, although I agree with you that it's a much better idea. If there is no existing style, I will try to follow the style editin…
  • Thank you VERY much for all your help. Learning to use this AMAZING tool little by little, and each time I find something that "doesn't work", just a little bit of communication on this forum and it is solved SOOOO quickly. Can't thank you enough. …
  • You mean that I can choose NOT to add it in the text, add bibliography at the end of the work, and finally click on my bibligraphy and add the works one by one directly in the list? I've just checked out this function, had never done it before. App…
  • Oh ! I forgot to mention: it's a problem for me because I mention quite a lot of songs and albums... with no page number. So of course, no page number, no author, there is nothing to write ! Can't help it, doing research on Bob Dylan xD
  • Thank you soooooo much ! (as you can see, I'm still not in bed). It was exactly that. It's a bit of a weird rule that I have to click on "suppress author" if the name of the author is mentioned in the sentence, but this has nothing to do with Zoter…
  • Last update before I go to sleep, because it's 2 AM here in France. I have just clicked on Add/Edit biblio. I still have the [NO-PRINTED-FORM] in the middle of my text, even though the same works appear normally in the bibliography at the end. I re…
  • What is REALLY strange is that this same item, which is an article, worked when I quoted page 8 (with the author's name) but did not work when I quoted page 1 (without the author's name because I checked the box "suppress author".
  • I'm not sure that was very efficient. If you can tell me how to link you to the hastebin, I will be happy to do it. Does THIS work? https://hastebin.com/aturawakig.bash

  • I have done everything you told me, copied and pasted in hastebin.com, which I didn't know, but have no idea how to send you a link to the hastebin. I can just copy the code here, I guess
  • Actually, it's really strange, it's doing it for some items and not others, and for some of them, strangely, after a few minutes, the [NO-PRINTED-FORM] turned into the reference I wanted... so maybe it's going to solve itself. Yes, there is an autho…
  • Just want to add that I have also tried with a date bracket, and it worked : Sarclo. Sarclo Sings Dylan (in French): Quatre Guitares et Un Enterrement. 6–29 Aug. 2018, Atypic Theatre, Avignon. Another aspect solved ! Small issue : right now, I am…
  • Hurray !! I just tried "event date" in "extra", and this time I finally got the right result : Sarclo. Sarclo Sings Dylan (in French): Quatre Guitares et Un Enterrement. 8 June 2018, Atypic Theatre, Avignon. Still wondering, though, why simply en…
  • @bwiernik I tried different ways, but none of them worked : 6-29 July 2018, 6-29 07 2018, 6-29 7 2018... It's a festival, so I'm supposed to write a date bracket, but I also tried with slashes with a simple date, such as 6/7/2018 or 06/07/2018, j…
