2.) And for the initial letter of the title, SGam.po.pa not sGgam.po.pa:
@Book{guenther:sgam, title = "{s}{G}am.{p}o.{p}a, The Jewel Ornament of Liberation\,: {D}am.\-{c}hos {y}id.{b}žin.{g}yi {n}or.{b}u {t}har.{p}a {r}in.{p}o {c}he'i {r}gyan {ž}es.{b}ya.{b}a {t}heg.{p}a {c}hen.\-{p}o'{i} {l}am.{r}im.{g}yi {b}śad.{p}a", publisher = "Rider \& Co.", shorttitle = "{s}{G}am.{p}o.{p}a", year = 1970, key = "guenther:70a", address = "London", author = "H. V. Guenther", }
I've also tried surrounding the hyphenated names, and their initials, with curly brackets, though without success.
The "bibtex" practice of "protecting" using surrounding braces does not have any effect here. We take fields literally. However, there is the setup: \setupbtx [apa:list:title] [command=\Word] that you can change, setting command=, for example. As to the spurious space in a hyphenated name, this is a bug that needs to be parsed at the lua level (no space following a hyphen) that I have asked Hans to look into fixing. Alan
