Would you have some time now to look at this issue? I will copy-paste
what I explained earlier below:



My a-key to use with the \cite command and my bib database doesn't
seem to work when I have more than two authors/editors. Here is my
data:

\startpublication[n=40,t=editedbook,k=Burton-RobertsEtAl2000,a={{Burton-Roberts},{Carr},{Docherty}},y=2000]
\editor[]{Noël}[N.]{}{Burton-Roberts}
\editor[]{Philip}[P.]{}{Carr}
\editor[]{Gerard}[G.]{}{Docherty}
\title{Phonological knowledge. Conceptual and empirical issues}
\pubname{Oxford University Press}
\city{New York/Oxford}
\pages{352}
\pubyear{2000}
\stoppublication

My setup is simple, I use all the defaults. Meaning, I don't have any
\setupcite specification in my environment file.

So, when I use the following command:

\cite{Burton-RobertsEtAl2000}

I get the following output:

 (2000)

If I just remove one name in the a key, like this:

\startpublication[n=40,t=editedbook,k=Burton-RobertsEtAl2000,a={{Burton-Roberts},{Carr}},y=2000]
\editor[]{Noël}[N.]{}{Burton-Roberts}
\editor[]{Philip}[P.]{}{Carr}
\editor[]{Gerard}[G.]{}{Docherty}
\title{Phonological knowledge. Conceptual and empirical issues}
\pubname{Oxford University Press}
\city{New York/Oxford}
\pages{352}
\pubyear{2000}
\stoppublication

With the above \cite command I get the expected:

Roberts et Carr (2000)

Where can I setup this? I see nothing regarding that in the BibTeX
manual. There's a lot covering the publication list at the end, but I
have no problems there, with as many authors (or editors, like in this
case) I want. I get only this behaviour with the \cite command.

Have I missed something?

I'm running mkii version 2008.11.10.

Thanks for any help!
Jeff
