biblatexcitingfootnotes
I am using biblatex as follows:
\usepackage[style=verbose-note,backend=bibtex]{biblatex}
\renewcommand{\cite}{\autocite} % citations in footnotes
This works almost as I want it. What I still would like is that a repeated citation (say I \cite{A} in p. 1, and then I \cite{A} again in p. 2) should point back to the earlier citation. So, in this case, only one footnote should be generated, and both p. 1 and p. 2 should have a link to that footnote (which is on p. 1 only). Is this possible?
For request no. 1, add the option ibidpage=true. Quoting p. 2 of 75-style-verbose-trad2.pdf:
The
ibidpageoptionThe scholarly abbreviation ibidem is sometimes taken to mean both ‘same author + same title’ and ‘same author + same title + same page’ in traditional citation schemes. By default, this is not the case with this style because it may lead to ambiguous citations. If you you prefer the wider interpretation of ibidem, set the package option
ibidpage=trueor simplyibidpagein the preamble. The default setting isibidpage=false.
For request no. 2, an \iffirstonpage test has to be added to the cite bibmacro; if the test yields true, the bibmacros cite:name and cite:title have to be used.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=verbose-trad2,ibidpage=true]{biblatex}
\renewbibmacro*{cite}{%

\clearpage
\citereset
Some text \autocite{A01}.
\clearpage
Some text \autocite{A01}.
\printbibliography
\end{document}
The following must be done:
Amend the cite:full bibmacro so that it will also store the current footnote number in a new macro whose name uses the entrykey of the current entry;
Use the numeric bibstyle and the option sorting=none;
Change the labelnumber format so that it displays the meaning of the "footnote number" macro of the current entry.
Note that the bibliography "labels" will be ambiguous if you cite several entries for the first time in the same footnote.
(EDIT: The OP stated that he/she uses BibTeX as backend, but the current biblatex version [2.2] willl by default [as in the OP's MWE] use Biber. That said, the following solution will also work with BibTeX if one adds the appropriate backend=bibtex package option.)
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}

\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\begin{document}
\null\vfill% just for the example
This is some text\footcite{Foo}, with\footnote{"Normal" footnotes also appear.}
footnotes.\footcite{Bar}
How can I make the footnote number associated with the reference be printed along
with the reference? (First entry should be numbered 1 and second numbered 3.)
\printbibliography
\end{document}
Best Answer
A rather simple version that (obviously) cannot deal with pre- or postnotes is this
We define a new command
\myfootcitewhich does not print post- or pre-notes. The macromyfootciteit calls just issues\footrefon the proper footnote (if the work has been cited before and already has a footnote) or creates a new footnote.The command is based on the sets of macros defined in
verbose-note.We need in implementation of
\footrefso we can use this, see Reference different places to the same footnote. In the MWE below, I usedscrextendi.e. the KOMA version to get\footref(if you use any of the KOMA document classes, you won't have to loadscrextendmanually; thememoirclass also provides\footrefout of the box;footmiscalso has an implementation; see also Footnotes whose texts are identical).MWE
