How to make memoir not put bibliography on next recto page

Question

I am using two columns in a memoir document and when I place a bibliography using bibtex for some reason it ends up on the next recto page. I am writing a book with multiple chapters and I want each chapter to have it's own bibliography. Is it possible to set such a bibliography just as any other section and make it fit in the general two column flow of the text without having it breaking out on a new page?

Answer 1

(The following minimal example works fine for me:) EDIT: Yes, it is possible to create section-bibliographies within book chapters. For convenience, I'm switching to the biblatex package which works together well with the memoir class. Note that when compiling my example, you have to run BibTeX several times unless you use makefiles like e.g. latexmk. For reference sections see section 3.5.4, for running BibTeX several times see section 3.10.1 of the biblatex manual.

\documentclass[twocolumn]{memoir}

\usepackage[refsection=chapter]{biblatex}

\usepackage{filecontents}

\begin{filecontents}{test.bib}
@misc{A01,
  author = {Author, A.},
  year = {2001},
  title = {Alpha},
}
@misc{B02,
  author = {Buthor, B.},
  year = {2002},
  title = {Bravo},
}
\end{filecontents}

\addbibresource{test.bib}

\begin{document}

\chapter{bla}

\section{blubb}

Some text \autocite{B02}.

\printbibliography[heading=subbibliography]

\chapter{foo}

\section{bar}

Some text \autocite{A01,B02}.

\printbibliography[heading=subbibliography]

\end{document}

(The filecontents environment is only used to include some external files directly into the example, so that it compiles. It is not necessary for the solution.)
