I have a problem with my three subbibliographies. I am using two styles numeric and alphabetic. In one of the subbibliographies I would like to use a prefixnumber. Unfortunately this affects also the other two in the way, that the margin is being shifted by the length of the prefixnumber. Here is a MWE of my problem.

  \printbibliography[title=Third Bib,category=own_pubs,heading=bibintoc,sorting=ynt,prefixnumbers={VERYLONGPREFIX--}]

  \end{document}

The result looks like this enter image description here

I would appreciate any help!

    This is by design. If you want different margins, use custom bibliography environments for the first two sub-bibliographies that set \labelwidth to something other than \labelnumberwidth or \labelalphawidth. – Audrey Sep 05 '13 at 20:57

biblatex 3.11 introduces the locallabelwdith option that calculates the width of labels not globally for all entries, but locally for each \printbibliography separately. See also Reset spacing between label and entry in different bibliographies

Modernising the code for biblatex 3.11 we end up with.

The left margin in all bibliographies is different.

As @Audrey noted, setting \labelwidth different from \labelalphawidth or \labelnumberwidth allows fixing the indentation of the entries.

The following sets the \labelwidth to something that should usually be sufficient for standard labels, but might need to be adjusted manually in some cases:
