Altering the bibliography style to encase titles in single quotes and to omit the prefix "In:"

Question

I have an article in which I use

\usepackage[backend=bibtex,style=authoryear,natbib=true]{biblatex}

The entry for an article in the bibliography is:

Barrow-Green, June (1994). “Oscar II’s Prize Competition and the Error in Poincare’s Memoir on the Three Body Problem”. In: Archive for History of Exact Sciences 48, pp. 107–131

And I would like it to be :

Barrow-Green, June (1994). ‘Oscar II’s Prize Competition and the Error in Poincare’s Memoir on the Three Body Problem’. Archive for History of Exact Sciences 48, pp. 107–131

So, single quotation marks for the title of the paper, and no "In:" before the journal's name.

Is there a way to do that?

Thank you!

This is not a natbib but a biblatex question. And naturally it is possible but you should provide a minimal example so that the code can be tested. — Ulrike Fischer, Aug 05 '15 at 14:35
The quotation marks are taken from your language option, if you use csquotes (which is recommended). For the "in" see Suppress "in:" biblatex. — moewe, Aug 05 '15 at 14:45

Try this in your preamble:

\usepackage[style = british]{csquotes}%
\renewbibmacro{in:}{\relax}

if you never want to have In:, or

\renewbibmacro{in:}{\ifentrytype{article}{\relax}{\printtext{bibstring{in}\intitlepunct}}}

if it is only for the article entry type.

Is there any reason you use \relax instead of just \renewbibmacro{in:}{}? – moewe Aug 05 '15 at 14:54
It's a reflex, just in case. – Bernard Aug 05 '15 at 14:55
I was asking because I have never seen this with biblatex macros before. – moewe Aug 05 '15 at 14:58
See the posting What is the difference between \relax and {}? – Mico Aug 05 '15 at 14:59
