BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Shorthand citations for the verbose citation style

[gyps_ruepelli]

Hi,

I am struggling with formatting the references in a proposal text. References are requested in footnotes, hence I use the verbose citation style, however for the bibliography style, I combine it with a chemistry-specific style. For first citations this works fine while for repeated citations, in some cases I just get the first author's name, in other cases I get the first author's name and the title although the title is not part of the first citation. Is there any possibility to customize the shorthand citation such that it looks exactly like the first citation? I use bibtex-datafiles and none of them have any shorthand entries. Or it there maybe another citation style which is better for this purpose.

Thanks to everybody who takes the effort to answer.

Welcome,

it is really hard to help right now. You are mentioning a lot of keywords, but i am not sure how you are generating your bibliography and translations.
Please provide a minimal working example so we know how you set up the bibliography and we have something to start with.
