I'm using biblatex with the verbose-trad1
style and mixing the \autocite
and \autocites
commands as necessary.
However, when the same reference is used in an \autocites
following an \autocite
, it is not shortened to Ibid. as it should be, but Idem, Work title is used instead. For example:
Text text\autocite[p.10]{Smith} text text\autocites[p.20]{Smith}[p.100]{Jones} text...
Will produce:
1) Smith, Work title, p.10.
2) Idem, Work title, p.20; Jones, Other title, p.100.
Instead of:
1) Smith, Work title, p.10.
2) Ibid., p.20; Jones, Other title, p.100.
Is there any way to get around this?

Load biblatex with
style=verbose-trad1,ibidtracker=context
.The default setting for this style is
ibidtracker=constrict
, which combines thecontext
andstrict
settings. Undercontext
recurrent citations are tracked separately between the body text and footnotes. Thestrict
setting avoids potentially ambiguous ibidem references, such as those occurring in or following a citation list.This information can be found in description for
ibidtracker
in the list of internal preamble options from the biblatex manual's User Guide.
