I'm a reasonably experienced XeLaTeX + BibTeX + natbib user trying to transition to using biblatex.
I want to generate a citation label such as "(Doe et al. 2001a,b, 2002)" despite the fact that the three entries all have distinct (unique) lists of authors. So far, using MacTeX-2011, the best I can get is "(Doe et al. 2001a; Doe et al. 2001b; Doe et al. 2002)".
Any ideas how I could achieve that? I'd be grateful for any suggestions.
Please note that I'm asking how it might be done, rather than whether it should be done at all. I understand that you might not like this citing convention.
Here is my source file:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{filecontents}{test.bib}
@article{doe2001a,
title = {foo},
year = {2001},
author = {J. Doe and R. Smith},
journal = {Nature}
}
@article{doe2001b,
title = {bar},
year = {2001},
author = {J. Doe and B. Dylan},
journal = {Science}
}
@article{doe2002,
title = {foobar},
year = {2002},
author = {J. Doe and B. Dylan and R. Smith},
journal = {WSJ}
}
\end{filecontents}
\usepackage[%
style=authoryear-comp,
backend=biber,
maxbibnames=99,
maxnames=1,
uniquelist=false,
uniquename=false]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{test.bib}
\begin{document}
\noindent
\parencite{doe2001a,doe2001b,doe2002}.
\printbibliography
\end{document}
