Help with Dual BibLaTeX Bibliographies in LyX

Post by Bommix »

Hello everyone,

I am currently working on a document in LyX and facing an issue with my BibLaTeX bibliography setup. My document requires two separate bibliographies: one for internet sources and another for all other references. I have set this up using the type=misc option for internet sources and nottype=misc for the others.

The problem arises with the numbering of the references. Both bibliographies are using an intermixed numeric style, which results in the numbers being used alternately across both lists, depending on where the citation occurs in the text.

What I would like to achieve is a distinct numbering system for each bibliography. Ideally, the internet sources (type=misc) should have a prefix "I-" followed by numbers (e.g., I-1, I-2, etc.), while the other sources should just have numeric labels, both starting from 1 and continuing sequentially.

Is there a way to implement this in LyX using BibLaTeX? Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help!

you may wish to lookup `labelprefix' in biblatex's documentation.
