[Tex/LaTex] Group citations with ieee style and biblatex

biblatexieee-stylemultiple-citations

I am using the following command for my bibliography

\usepackage[backend=biber,style=ieee,sorting=none,labeldateparts,maxbibnames=99,maxcitenames=2,mincitenames=1]{biblatex} 

and additional macro for the "author(year)[#]" citation style, described here:
Cite author(year)[1] using one command BibLatex

Now when I use multiple citations and the output in

bla blah blah [1][3][7]

But I want

Blah blah blah [1,3,7]

I tried numeric-comp style but it does not work.

MWE is

Best Answer

style=ieee implements verbose numeric citations of the form

[1], [2], [3]

if you want more compact citations you need to replace

style=ieee 

with

bibstyle=ieee,citestyle=numeric,

to obtain

[1, 2, 3]

or even

bibstyle=ieee,citestyle=numeric-comp,

to obtain

[1-3]

Naturally you must use one \cite command for those citations

\cite{sigfridsson,worman,nussbaum}

single citations that are written as

\cite{sigfridsson}, \cite{worman}, \cite{nussbaum}

are not converted.
