biblatex | Bibliography with more than 35 Books fails

Sorry for not replying last night as I said I would, but getting to my machine was a little bit more complicated than I anticipated :)

However, even if you found that bibtex8 is working, I'll mention the solution for biber too, which is actually stated in LyX wiki, note 2 (and which I missed couple of times :roll: ). It seems that biber sometimes fails to start, so to make sure that doesn't happen, simply add the following code to the preamble:

Code: Select all

\typeout{File: \jobname.bcf}
Your example in the attachment. Extract the files to C:\test. Should work this time.

Regards,

M.

Hi,
okay your example works, more or less... now i get the bib and cites, but at the beginning of the pdf-doc this for every entry in the bib:

Code: Select all

hash=61469e7ab0f8226e8ade1e33398af476BucchiB.MassimianoM. hash=61469e7ab0f8226e8ade1e33398af476BucchiB.M
after that the text starts directly, no pagebreak etc.
so it might be a first step, but not the solution for me... thanks and sorry... :) ... really don't know whats wrong with my lyx/latex/biblatex...
