All,

A similar problem came up some time ago, but it seems that no solution
was ever posted....

Anyway, here's an example of what I mean:

%%%%%
\documentclass{memoir}

\usepackage[french,italian,german,latin,english]{babel}
\usepackage[babel]{csquotes}
\usepackage[style=mystyle,sorting=nyt,block=space,bibtex8=true,hyperref=true]
{biblatex}
\bibliography{bibliography}
\usepackage[plainpages=false]{hyperref}


\begin{document}

Some text.\cite{guy2000}\\
More text.\cite{guy2000b}\\
More text.\cite{zGuy2000}\\

\printbibliography
\end{document}

%%%%%%
bibliography entries:

@InCollection{guy2000,
author = "Guy, Some",
title = "{An Article in a Collection}",
crossref = "zGuy2000",
pages = "851--882",
year = 2000
}
@InCollection{guy2000b,
author = "Guy, Some",
title = "Another Article",
crossref = "zGuy2000",
pages = "883--932",
year = 2000
}
@Collection{zGuy2000,
editor = "Guy, Some and John Doe",
title = "The Collection",
publisher = "Publisher",
address = "A City",
year = 2000
}

%%%%%%%
And the output looks like this:

Guy, Some (2000a). `An Article in a Collection'. In: Guy and Doe
(2000a), 851--852.
------ (2000b). `Another Article'. In Guy and Doe (2000b), 883--932.
Guy, Some, and John Doe, eds. (2000). The Collection. A City:
Publisher.

%%%%%%%%

As you can see, the InCollection entries seemingly pass the `a's and
`b's to the cross-referenced Collection, which doesn't need the
differentiating letters.

Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this?

Cheers,
jon.

We aren't going to get very far when you have "style=mystyle".

True. Sorry about that. mystyle.bbx is modified from standard.bbx

mystyle.bbx:

\DeclareBibliographyDriver{collection}{% %%% unchanged

\DeclareBibliographyDriver{incollection}{% %%% modified
\usebibmacro{bibindex}%
\usebibmacro{author}%
\newunit\newblock
\usebibmacro{title+stitle}%
\newunit\newblock
\usebibmacro{in:}%
\iffieldundef{crossref}
{\usebibmacro{mtitle+mstitle+vol+part+btitle+bstitle}%
\newunit
\printlist{language}%
\newunit\newblock
\usebibmacro{byeditor+others}%
\newunit\newblock
\printfield{edition}%
\newunit
\iffieldundef{maintitle}
{\printfield{volume}%
\printfield{part}}
{}%
\newunit
\printfield{volumes}%
\newunit\newblock
\usebibmacro{ser+num}%
\newunit\newblock
\printfield{note}%
\newunit\newblock
\usebibmacro{publ+loc+year}%
\newunit\newblock
\printfield{isbn}%
\newunit\newblock}
{\addspace %%% more changes
\textcite{\thefield{crossref}}}%
\setunit{\addcomma\space}%%%% added; note out.
\usebibmacro{chap+pag}%
\newunit\newblock
\printfield{doi}%
\newunit\newblock
\printfield{addendum}%
\newunit\newblock
\usebibmacro{url+date}%
\newunit\newblock
\usebibmacro{pageref}%
\usebibmacro{finentry}}

However, when I use `style=authoryear' as an option, both the
InCollection entries turn up as 2000 -- i.e., without a
differentiating letter, which is surely no good....

Cheers,
jon.

This is a known issue which will be fixed in the next release.


That, however, should work as advertised. Make sure you have the
latest version of biblatex.bst (version 0.6a -- this file was updated
after the 0.6 release)
