If I use for example the command \cite[X.2]{book} with X.2 as optional argument, I get [p. X.2,BOOK] as a result (where BOOK stands for the reference number of the book reference). Because X.2 stands for a chapter, rather then page number, I would of course like to get rid of the "p.". Because I rather rarely refer to pages, I would like to have this behaviour by default. I can probably change it using an optional argument of \usepackage{biblatex}. Which one?

Now I have in my preamble: \usepackage[doi=false,url=false,isbn=false,sorting=none,style=numeric-comp,backref=true]{biblatex}

You simplly have to add the following line in the preamble

\DeclareFieldFormat{postnote}{#1}

MWE:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\usepackage[doi=false,url=false,isbn=false,sorting=none,style=numeric-comp,backref=true]{biblatex}

\DeclareFieldFormat{postnote}{#1}

\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}

\begin{document}
\cite[X.2]{angenendt}

\printbibliography

\end{document}

enter image description here

If, for any reason, you want the page abbreviation in one citation, use the commands \pno to print p. and \ppno to print pp., for example \cite[\ppno~X.2]{angenendt}.
