Hello.
I need to control the placement of a page reference within a citation with multiple authors. For example:
~\citep[169]{midant2000prehistory,puleston2008population} yields
(Midant-Reynes 2000; Puleston 2008:169).
What if the page reference actually needs to go with the first citation...or, what if each citation has its own page reference? Thanks.

Re: Control Page Reference with multiple Authors
I assume you're using natbib, though you don't say so. A minimal working example (see board rules) might help considerably.
In natbib, the optional argument to \cite, \citet, \citep, etc. means "text after citation"; it's not technically a page reference though it can be used for that. For example, using \citep[see][chapter~2]{puleston2008population} will yield a citation like
(see Puleston 2008, chapter 2)
depending somewhat on your bibliography style and the options passed to natbib.
You might try constructing your own, using \citealp and/or \citealt. These leave off the parentheses, so you can put punctuation and related things anywhere you want.
