Sanjoy,
thanks for your rely. Of course you're quite right, this is the wau to go, and it works. But my question was imprecise because I did not mention what was causing the problem: I'm working with split bibliographies and want to refer in chapter 2 to an item already included in the biblio of chapter 2. If I just put a \cite command somewhere, this item will be included a second time in the list of chapter 2. So my question is: this item does already have a counter attached to it. Is it possible to refer to this raw counter across chapters? Like so:
Chapter 1
[1] main reference
Chapter 2
[2] another thing
[3] and yet another [reprinted in [1]]
without having [1] main reference repeated. This my very well be impossible, I'm just wondering.
You can try this: \def\silentcite[#1]% {\bgroup \let\addthisref\gobbleoneargument \cite[#1]% \egroup} (untested). If that does not work, it is not possible. Taco
