Hi John, thanks for your reply. I'm using biblatex-chicago, which prints the full citation in the first instance, and then an abbreviated one on subsequent instances. Problem is, some citations' entries have page ranges in them already; what I want to do is add a single page number in the "Text after" field (or by some other means, such as using Lyx code), and have this override the page(s) given in the citation entry.
In there a way to do this? Failing that, there's something weird about how Lyx is handling material in the "Text after" field for citation entries which already specify a page range in the bibtex entry, in that it only outputs something like '[35]bibtexkey' in the pdf output. Thanks for the help. Cheers, A On Sun, Oct 9, 2016 at 10:21 PM, John Kane <jrkrid...@gmail.com> wrote: > What bibliographic style are you using.
