Thanks, Jon! That actually speaks exactly to what I was trying to do, I just wasn't seeing it in the User Guide before. To clarify, by "Collection" I was meaning something like an anthology of a collection of essays, from which I would cite multiple essays or chapters. The "Book : Book Section" metatype addresses precisely what I'm trying to do.
That being said, I'm still having some issues with the metatypes. I'm trying to use the Book : Book Section metatype, and while I've managed to successfully link my references, the output isn't what I'm looking for.
This is what I have entered as the Bibliography Field Order for "Book Section [Book]": a. “t.” [e], p-.
In both the Format Manager and in the Link Inspector, I'm then getting:
Test. "Test Chapter." Albert Zimmermann, 1-40.
Which is just about exactly what I want.
However, when I try to generate a bibliography off of this Book Section and the full Book, I get the following entry, which is the full entry information for the Book Chapter (and formatted just like a "Book Chapter" reference type would be), rather than the desired Book Section [Book] format:
Test. “Test Chapter.” Mensura. Mass, Zahl, Zahlensymbolik Im Mittelalter. Ed. Albert Zimmermann. Vol. 16/1. Miscellanea Medievalia. Berlin: Walder de Gruyter, 1984. 1-40.
I don't know if it matters, but the Book Section is classified as a "Book Chapter" reference type, given there is no reference type specifically for the Book Section as a child and the User Guide specifies not to create a new one.
One last issue is that I would prefer to have the editor for the book appear just with the surname in the child bibliography entry, like this:
Test. "Test Chapter." Zimmermann, 1-40.
Thanks for the help - I hope this is all clear!
