Chicago 15A Footnotes: When number of volumes field is present, I get no comma+space between the title and number of vols. E.g.,
author, title#vols. (city: publisher, date), p.
instead of,
author, title, #vols. (city: publisher, date), p.
The best I've been able to do is change the quotes around the comma+space after the title into the force quote, but then I get an unwanted comma before the open parenthesis when there are no intervening fields (as you'd expect). I admit being a novice at this, so I suspect there is something basic I'm missing. Anyone got an idea?

No Comma+Space Before # vols.
Thanks Jon. I also found I needed a comma after the first tilde:
...$~, ~u13$...
The syntax of these formats is like a puzzle to one not fluent in them....a fun challenge on the one hand and sometimes maddening on the other. I'm curious, if you have time to explain, why the tildes solved the problem. It looks like the tildes preserve the text because the field immediately following is filled. Am I right?

Hi,
Yes, you're right. Unfortunately, to be flexible enough to handle bib output I've had to add some extra commands to deal with empty fields, and that makes creating a bulletproof format a bit complicated. It's very easy when all the fields in the format have some info in them, though.
