Summarizing my work on this, I defined a metatype for two Types, Dictionary and Dictionary Entry. These are signed dictionary entries, so the entry references contain only the entry author, entry name, and the date of the dictionary; in citaions the entries should draw common information about the d...

Thank you for your response. Much of this I have already described or done, but in an effort to be thorough, I have posted in detail, and it would be extremely easy to miss things. 1. Metatypes work in both citations and bibliographies. They have to be set independently in the Bibliography and Citat...

The temporary citation was generated by cmd-Y from Nisus Writer Pro, selecting the child, then cmd-Y back to BE. {Evans, 2000, #235111} Repe...

[***See the last post in the thread for my workaround/solution.***] Hello all, I have been working on a parent/child relation between two BE references for about three days.
