I have 2 books and in the latter one an additional author is added. This somehow causes my set maxcitename in the options for biblatex to be ignored. In the attached picture you can see how it looks like now. I would like the second book to adhere to my maxcitename option. I thought it would be related to this question: Set limit to one author when using "et al." in biblatex but the answer did not change anything for me.

My MWE:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[style=authoryear, backend=biber, maxcitenames=2, uniquename=false, uniquelist=false, maxbibnames=10]{biblatex} 

\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@book{Hartung.2007,
 author = {Hartung, Joachim and Elpelt, B{\"a}rbel},
 year = {2007},
 title = {Multivariate Statistik: Lehr- und Handbuch der angewandten Statistik},
}
@book{Hartung.2009,
 author = {Hartung, Joachim and Elpelt, B{\"a}rbel and Kl{\"o}sener, Karl-Heinz},
 year = {2009},
 title = {Statistik: Lehr- und Handbuch der angewandten Statistik},
}
\end{filecontents*}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}

\begin{document}    
\cite{Hartung.2007}
\cite{Hartung.2009}
\printbibliography
\end{document}

CurrentOutput

instead of the 3 names appearing I want this: "Hartung et. al. (2009)"

  • Why are all brakets escaped in your example? Please fix that. – Johannes_B Jun 09 '15 at 12:44

    I have made your MWE compilable (I kicked out irrelevant code for the question in the process). Have you tried uniquelist=minyear or uniquelist=false, it worked fine for me. Incidentally, this is exactly the solution in the question you linked to (see the third MWE). – moewe Jun 09 '15 at 19:47
  • Any news here? As the questions is currently, it is a blatant duplicate of the very question you linked to. The solution there also seems to work. So we really need more details to investigate this. – moewe Jun 13 '15 at 06:30
  • Sorry I kind of overlooked this (was really busy). Uniquelist does not change anything for me but minyear is exactly what I needed. I don't think my linked question is a solution for my question. Either I am blind but I don't see the answer there mentioning minyear. It only mentions Uniquelist (which does not work for me) and maxcitename, which is not what I need here besides it is already set in the options. – sceiler Jun 13 '15 at 14:05
  • OK, the answer does not mention minyear explicitly, but technically uniquelist=false should be even more rigorous in doing what you want than minyear. Though your question is not about biblatex-apa this here seems to be a good duplicate (it mentions minyear as well). – moewe Jun 14 '15 at 16:59
  • Would you mind if I voted to close your question here as a duplicate of http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/67961/35864? – moewe Jun 15 '15 at 20:37

    nope go ahead. It is duplicate so that makes perfectly sense. :) – sceiler Jun 15 '15 at 20:41
  • Fine, I'll do that then. – moewe Jun 15 '15 at 20:45
