BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ biblatex | Use of Volumes in '@techreport'

[ddenton]

Anyone know if one can use the Volumes field to indicate the number of volumes in a work, within the Techreport type? Does this depend on whether an individual style uses the field? Are there any that do?

[ddenton]

The manual does not indicate the "volumes" field as being valid and I tried it out unsuccessfully with a couple of styles.

What, then, is the best way to handle the number of volumes within an entry type like Techreport? Should I use the "note" field: e.g. note = {4 Volumes}?

It would be very kind and just fair if you mention when doing a crossposting [1]*. This prevents others from double efforts and waste of time.

* According to the rules you are obliged to do so.
