I found it extremely weird.

When I want to add 2 references together, the second reference becomes below: which I do not want to have

Author 1, Author 2 et al. (year)

Reference Two is Hermann, N ̈olker et al. (2002)

I want: 

Author 1 et al. (year)

Reference Two is Hermann et al. (2002)

Below is the printscreen: Both references together: enter image description here

When only 1 reference:

enter image description here

I am using:

maxcitenames=2

  • Yet reference one is what you want? – Bernard Oct 16 '19 at 22:54
  • @Bernard, I want to be Reference Two is Hermann et al. (2002). I want Author1 et al. (year) – aan Oct 16 '19 at 22:58
  • Well, add the option mincitenames=1. – Bernard Oct 16 '19 at 23:01
  • @Bernard, I had added mincitenames=1, and become \usepackage[backend=biber, style=authoryear-comp, dashed=false, maxcitenames=2, maxbibnames=99, mincitenames=1, giveninits, alldates=comp, dateabbrev=false, uniquename=init]{biblatex}. Still the same error. – aan Oct 16 '19 at 23:02
  • By default biblatex tries to disambiguate potentially ambiguous lists of names by adding more names to make them unique. You need uniquelist=false if you want to turn off that feature. This feature is context-dependent (since the ambiguity depends on whether or not you cited works with similar author lists), so it only comes into play once you cite a second work (with a similar author list). – moewe Oct 17 '19 at 05:34
  • @moewe, thanks. Brillant! It works well! – aan Oct 17 '19 at 11:38
