Configure footnote citation

Question

I am writing my thesis and am having trouble with footnote citations with two lines.

The minimal working example is:

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt,oneside]{book}   

\usepackage[hyperref=true,
            url=false,
            isbn=false,
            doi=true,
            backref=true,
            style=custom-numeric-comp,
            citereset=chapter,
            maxcitenames=3,
            maxbibnames=100,
            backend=bibtex,
            block=none]{biblatex}

\newlength{\spc} % declare a variable to save spacing value
\newcommand{\sjcitep}[2][]{% new command with two arguments: optional (#1) and mandatory (#2)
        \settowidth{\spc}{#1}% set value of \spc variable to the width of #1 argument
        \addtolength{\spc}{-1.8\spc}% subtract from \spc about two (1.8) of its values making its magnitude negative
        #1% print the optional argument
        \hspace*{\spc}% print an additional negative spacing stored in \spc after #1
        \supershortnotecite{#2}}% print (cite) the mandatory argument

\addbibresource{testbib}

\begin{document}

\chapter*{Introduction}  

Citation here \sjcitep{MPT3}

\end{document}

The testbib.bib file is:

    @inproceedings{MPT3,
    author          =   {M. Herceg and M. Kvasnica and C.N. Jones and M. Morari},
    title           =   {{Multi-Parametric Toolbox 3.0}},
    booktitle       =   {Proceedings of the European Control Conference},
    year            =   {2013},
    address         =   {Z\"urich, Switzerland}
}

It also requires some files which can be downloaded at http://www.khirevich.com/downloads/example_latex_bib_foot.rar

The output citation looks like this:

Yet I would like this, i.e. two-lines citation should be aligned.

Your example code is not exactly minimal. Please edit it so that it's (a lot more) minimal and focused solely on the issue you're looking to fix. — Mico, Jul 28 '17 at 22:26
Sorry for this, it requires some additional files: http://www.khirevich.com/downloads/example_latex_bib_foot.rar — Vuong Trinh, Jul 29 '17 at 00:34

This is easily accomplished with the command \deffootnote (originally provided for KOMA classes, but can be used in typical classes like book by loading the scrextend package).

\begin{filecontents*}{testbib.bib}
    @inproceedings{MPT3,
        author          =   {M. Herceg and M. Kvasnica and C.N. Jones and M. Morari},
        title           =   {{Multi-Parametric Toolbox 3.0}},
        booktitle       =   {Proceedings of the European Control Conference},
        year            =   {2013},
        address         =   {Z\"urich, Switzerland}
    }
\end{filecontents*}

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt,oneside]{book}   
\usepackage{scrextend}  
\usepackage[hyperref=true,
            url=false,
            isbn=false,
            doi=true,
            backref=true,
            style=custom-numeric-comp,
            citereset=chapter,
            maxcitenames=3,
            maxbibnames=100,
            backend=bibtex,
            block=none]{biblatex}

\newlength{\spc} % declare a variable to save spacing value
\newcommand{\sjcitep}[2][]{% new command with two arguments: optional (#1) and mandatory (#2)
        \settowidth{\spc}{#1}% set value of \spc variable to the width of #1 argument
        \addtolength{\spc}{-1.8\spc}% subtract from \spc about two (1.8) of its values making its magnitude negative
        #1% print the optional argument
        \hspace*{\spc}% print an additional negative spacing stored in \spc after #1
        \supershortnotecite{#2}}% print (cite) the mandatory argument


\deffootnote[2em]{2em}{1em}{%           <------------------
    \textsuperscript{\thefootnotemark}\,}

\addbibresource{testbib}

\begin{document}
