Well, I hope not!

As far as I understood the manual (cont-eni) one can use \item and  
\sym also without the start-stop environment: in cases where it is  
just needed as one entry (not a list).
This works, somehow. But is there no setup possible?

I need it in a bibliography: the normal entries "author, title etc.  
maybe two lines" are hangindented with \hangafter=1\hangindent=12pt.
But when a author has two or more titles it is written "- title etc.  
maybe two lines". And here the "- " must be the same space as the  
hangindent (12pt), as one can imagine easily.
That's why I used a \item res. \sym for this. And a start/stop each  
would make the code quite chaotic.

But maybe there is even another solution for this construction, even  
better?
