BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ long citations for multiple formats

[ExecutorElassus]

Oh! I misunderstood. I thought you wanted a .pdf file, when I think (??) you want a .tex file. Is that correct? If so, it's attached.

Cheers,

The following code is provided by one of the biblatex contributors. Personally, i have no idea what is going on or is expected.

Oh crikey, that is a complicated one. The code in biblatex-chicago is really complicated and lengthy and can be a pain to modify. There is \ifuniquework to check for situations where one labelname-labeltitle combination occurs more than once, one could use that to add additional information. It is not clear to me, however, what the expected behaviour would be in that case. What would one add? Can we make sure that by adding that bit we get a unique citations? Etc.?

Not really keen on signing up for another forum, but a first suggestion can be found at gist.github.com/moewew/9805f72a43ca2cc56ee6e4c3819a2354 This will issue a full citation if the short 'name-title' is not unique. For LyX users note that I had to add the loading option uniquework=true to biblatex-chicago (this is crucial), the other interesting bit is between the redefinition of cite.
