Biblatex shorttitle sorting problems with incollection and crossref

Question

This is a tough one.

I had to re-define the sorting (and so the driver) for collection to have:

Title, editors, loc, pub, year.

On the second citation, I get the shortened form:

Auhtor surnames, shorttitle, cit.

When I cite an @incollection with crossref pointing to that @collection, though, I don't get anymore my beloved shortened form for the collection, but I have instead:

Shorttitle. Editor names and surnames. Cit.

I would rather like to have

Auhtor surnames, shorttitle, cit.

In other words, in my MWE I get:

Renata Ago. «Socialità e salotti a Roma tra Sei e Settecento». In: Salotti e ruolo femminile. A cura di Maria Betri - Mario Rossi. Cit., pp. 177–188

But I need:

Renata Ago. «Socialità e salotti a Roma tra Sei e Settecento». In: Betri - Rossi, Salotti e ruolo femminile, cit.

To have a shorttitle here I used Maïeul's package biblatex-opcit-booktitle, but it doesn't seem to work great in this case.

MWE:

% !BIB TS-program = biber
% !BIB program = biber
% !TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
% !TeX TS-program = xelatexmk

\begin{filecontents}{archivio.bib}

@collection{Bet:Sal,
    Address = {Venezia},
    Editor = {Maria Betri AND Mario Rossi},
    Publisher = {Marsilio},
    Shorttitle = {Salotti e ruolo femminile},
    Title = {Salotti e ruolo femminile in Italia, tra fine Seicento e primo Novecento},
    Year = {2004}},

@incollection{Ago:Soc,

    Crossref = {Bet:Sal},
    Pages = {177-188},
    Title = {Socialit{\`a} e salotti a Roma tra Sei e Settecento}}

\begin{document}

I first cite a collection:\\

\cite{Bet:Sal} \\

Then in this incollection (with crossref) I would like to get the shorttitle of the collection:

\cite{Ago:Soc}\\

In other words I would like to have that shortened form:

\cite{Bet:Sal} \\

\end{document}

Answer 1

This is an idea, but it's not really working in every case.

Moreover, it's not a very clean code and I would appreciate very much any suggestion to make it... smoother.

Answer 2

This is a workaround.

If I get rid of all that (ugly) coding of my firt answer, I still have a problem with the first citation of an incollection, if I already cited the collection alone. In this case I would like to have the long form for the incollection and the short for the collection. I managed to do it with a new cite command \citecc (it's for crossref collections)

\DeclareCiteCommand*{\citetitle}            % ridefinisco il tracking per avere la seconda citazione corretta
  { %                                       Qui c'era \boolfalse{citetracker}%   \boolfalse{pagetracker}%
   \usebibmacro{prenote}}
  {\ifciteindex
     {\indexfield{indextitle}}
     {}%
   \printfield[citetitle]{title}}
  {\multicitedelim}
  {\usebibmacro{postnote}}

\DeclareCiteCommand{\citela}        % id est cite long author - anche qui come sopra ho tolto boolfalse x tracking
  {\usebibmacro{prenote}}               % usa il valore nel campo prenote se presente
  {\ifciteindex
    {\DeclareNameAlias{labelname}{given-family}% Ridefinisco la labelname per avere il nome lungo
    \indexnames{labelname}}         % andrà nell'indice?? verifica
     {}%
   \printnames{labelname}}          % stampa la labelname
  {\multicitedelim}                 % dividi i nomi multipli di autore con il modo definito 
  {\usebibmacro{postnote}}          % scrivi le postnote se presenti


\newbibmacro*{postnotenew}{%            Definisco una nuova macro secondo cui
  \ifnameundef{labelname}       %       Se non è specificato autore o editore
    {\hspace*{-1ex}}                %       Non voglio la virgola e compenso lo spazio vuoto lasciato dal nome
    {\printtext{\addcomma}}}        %       Se invece è specificato voglio la virgola

\DeclareCiteCommand{\citeauthornew} % normale citeauthor ma che alla fine evoca la macro \postnotenew per la virgola condizionale
  {%
   \usebibmacro{prenote}}
  {\ifciteindex
     {\indexnames{labelname}}
     {}%
   \printnames{labelname}}
  {\multicitedelim}
  {\usebibmacro{postnotenew}}


%Definisco un nuovo comando \citecc (collection-crossref) a due argomenti, la Incollection, poi la Collection di provenienza e come argomento opzionale il numero di pagina, con condizionale

\newcommand\citecc[3][]{%           Definisco comando con tre argomenti e uno opzionale
  \ifstrempty{#1}%                  Se quello opzionale è vuoto (no pagina indicata)
    {\citela{#2}, \citetitle*{#2}, in \citeauthornew{#3}  \citetitle{#3}, cit., p.~\citefield{#2}{pages}}%  succede questo
    {\citela{#2}, \citetitle*{#2}, in \citeauthornew{#3}  \citetitle{#3}, p.~{#1}, cit.}}   % altrimenti questo

Good points: it works

Bad points: (1) it's a workaraound that just produces what I need in this "exception"; (2) it needs two arguments instead of one
