Adjust rendering of BibTeX entries

23 Nov 2017

      Dear list,

I would like to render BibTeX-entries with the provided
APA-style, however, in the text use superscript cross references.  I
have the following issues, which I don't know how to resolve. I was
hoping, you could help me.

1. When choosing the style APA, the change to \setupcite seems to be
    ignored, see the minimal example below. (When changing
    alternative=apa back to alternative=ams, it works again.)

2. As I am citing bibliography entries with numbers, adding letters to
    the end of the publication years makes no sense.  How can I
    loose the letters? Now, also the provided AMS-style adds these
    letters, which I don't think should be the case, too.

3. The edition field when citing a book is rendered wrong. It should be
    7th edition followed by a period. (Compare this with the ams-style,
    where the edition field is rendered correctly.) How can I add the
    period and automatically add the st, nd, rd, th to a edition number?

4. Say, I would revert back to AMS-style but using superscripts rather
    than the [#Number] default.  How can I loose the square brackets in
    the reference section?

Thank you very much in advance.

Thomas
