Configuring a biblatex bibliography style

Question

I just switched from natbib to biber + biblatex, and the closest bibliography style to my preferred style is "ieee" (by Joseph Wright). I am using it with the citation style "authoryear". This makes the numbers in the bibliography useless; how do I remove them?

Answer 1

I can't test it right now, but it should be possible to load biblatex with the options citestyle=authoryear,bibstyle=ieee and then to add authoryear's bibenvironment definition to the preamble:

\usepackage[citestyle=authoryear,bibstyle=ieee]{biblatex}

\defbibenvironment{bibliography}
  {\list
     {}
     {\setlength{\leftmargin}{\bibhang}%
      \setlength{\itemindent}{-\leftmargin}%
      \setlength{\itemsep}{\bibitemsep}%
      \setlength{\parsep}{\bibparsep}}}
  {\endlist}
  {\item}
