[Tex/LaTex] Multiple footnote citations of reference on same page

biblatexcitingfootnotes

If I have multiple footnote citations of the same reference on the same page I get multiple footnote entries with exactly the same content.

\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@article{test,
    title = {Synthesis of Enantiopure Alcohols},
    volume = {71},
    number = {17},
    journal = {J. Org. Chem.},
    author = {Test T.},
    month = aug,
    year = {2006},
    pages = {6333--6445}
}
\end{filecontents*}

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage[backend=biber]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\begin{document}

First\footfullcite{test}, second\footfullcite{test} and third time.\footfullcite{test}

\end{document}

Example footnote

I find this to look weird and wondered if something like this was possible:

1,2,3 Test T. “Synthesis of Enantiopure Alcohols”. In: J. Org. Chem.
71.17 (Aug. 2006), pp. 6333–6445.

If the output in my minimal example is completely normal I am happy to leave it that way – I would just like to hear some opinions on this.

UPDATE:
I have done some further research on this and I reckoned it would be the simplest if a footnote citation occurred twice on a page it would get the same footnote.

First\footfullcite{test}, second\footfullcite{test} and third time.\footfullcite{test}

would give

First [1], second [1] and third.[1]

Conclusion:
My first proposal is very hard to achieve and unnecessary complicated. The solution using "ibid" solves this problem in a different but effective way. If one did not want to use "ibid", Audreys post solves the problem very nicely, too.

Best Answer

Probably using the authoryear-ibid style and using first \footfullcite and then only \footcite is a little better.

Modifying your MWE to:

\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@article{test,
    title = {Synthesis of Enantiopure Alcohols},
    volume = {71},
    number = {17},
    journal = {J. Org. Chem.},
    author = {Test T.},
    month = aug,
    year = {2006},
    pages = {6333--6445}
}
\end{filecontents*}

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage[style=authoryear-ibid,backend=biber]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\begin{document}

First\footfullcite{test}, second\footcite{test} and third time.\footcite{test}

\end{document}

you obtain this result:

The best way, as suggested by Audrey, would be, anyway, to use the verbose-ibid style and simply use \footcite for all the citations.

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage[style=verbose-ibid,backend=biber]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\begin{document}

First\footcite{test}, second\footcite{test} and third time.\footcite{test}

\end{document}
