  • I am confused :).
  • I use the maxcitename option of the biblatex package but the result in the MWE does not seem to be plausible.
  • Why are so many names used in the \textcite output? I trust that biblatex works great and I assume that the problem is me :).

  • For future readers: BTW, I looked at the linked (duplicate) question. IMHO, a significant difference is that the lockstep's good answer (and the question) shows an example where both references have the same year (2001), whereas in my example the years are different. – Dr. Manuel Kuehner Feb 25 '22 at 02:39

    For uniquelist=true, and uniquelist=false, the year is irrelevant. If you want disambiguation only in the same year, you need minyear (https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/474511/35864). But as I read the question you want maxcitenames to be respected at all times, i.e. you don't want disambiguation in any case. – moewe Feb 25 '22 at 08:17
  • @moewe Thanks! Would it be better to link my question to the duplicate that you just mentioned? Not sure how I can do that, maybe reopen first? – Dr. Manuel Kuehner Feb 25 '22 at 14:31
  • I vote to reopen to link to another duplicate: https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/474511/35864 – Dr. Manuel Kuehner Feb 25 '22 at 14:34

    Duplicates can be edited without reopnening. I added the other link as well. The question can stay closed. – moewe Feb 25 '22 at 14:47
  • Ah, thanks (+1). – Dr. Manuel Kuehner Feb 25 '22 at 15:54

Update by Manuel (OP) after the comment of user moewe: In my case, the option uniquelist = minyear is the one I need because my problem was related to different years.

biblatex tries to ensure that lists are unique. Use uniquelist=false if you don't want that, then you will get (after calling biber again):
