I have a very specific issue. I am sure I have seen a solution in some package documentation somewhere a few months back but I simply cannot find it anymore. Maybe one of you knows what I am looking for or has any idea for a simple implementation -- because I can only think about unsatisfactory workarounds (described below).
What I want:
I am citing two kinds of works - works by one important author and all other works. I want two bibliographies, one with his works, one with all other works. On itself, this is not a problem using bibliography categories. However, I want that author's works to be cited by title/shorttitle and the rest by author-date plus I want the respective bibliographies to be sorted accordingly.
Questions:
- Is there any easy way to use two different citation styles and bibliography styles alongside each other? (Possibly assigning entries to one or the other by assigning them to "bibliography categories" or using the "entrysubtype" field.)
- If not, is there at least a way to switch between bibliography styles when using filtered/categorized bibliographies?
- Define shorthands: Put the shorttitle into the "shorthand" field. Print shorthands before bibliography and have one bibliography. Problems with this: One bibliography; in the shorthands the shorttitle is explained by author-year, not by the title.
- same, plus use bibliography categories: Gives the right citations and two bibliographies. Problem with this: Bibliography is still in author-year style.
- same, plus use the title in "sortyear" plus use a new entry types for all the works of that author and copy-and-paste the respective bibliography driver from the author-title style into a changed author-year style (or find an easier way to do this using the "entrysubtype" field): Gives the right result. Problem with this: clumsy and a lot of work.
Cheers!
