Using biblatex and memoir together

Question

I am getting to know the memoir class, as I understood this should be the most suitable one for a big project. On the other hand, I'm used to work with biblatex and I want to keep it this way.

I found the \chapterstyle{ell} nice and I would like to use it. However, at the end of the document I added:

\backmatter
\printbibliography

which typesets the bibliography section but it also typesets an empty "corner" which is derived from the chapter style I'm using:

For reference, this is how a normal chapter looks like:

How can I make it look nice? For example, typeset the Bibliography in the corner? Or any other suggestions? What would be the best practice here?

Answer 1

That basically has nothing to do with biblatex; it is the design for unnumbered chapters in the style you use, see MemoirChapterStyles (it make use of the same style). I like this design better as the text always stays in the same place which looks best when flipping through a document. But you can easily define your own style by copying the ell code from memoir.cls
