Mhhh, yes I haven't thought through all the implications for your code. And maybe going over to bibmacros instead of drivers is just a bad workaround for the real issue...

`biblatex-trad` is modelled after the base BibTeX styles which do not support these fields, so it is a bit tricky to add them. See also the philosophical discussion in https://github.com/moewew/biblatex-trad/issues/33.

Mhhhh. *Workaround 1* is semantically unsound; we are indeed talking about a collection and not a monograph. So I would like to offer ***Workaround 3*** Use `@collection` instead of `@book`....

Mhhh. Ad 1. With the setup from the MWE you will get erroneous bibliography entries in all `biblatex` standard styles and all custom styles that do not take the precautions...

Yes, ```latex \settowidth\labelnumberwidth{\usebeamertemplate*{bibliography item}}% ``` looks a lot nicer than hard-coding the value. Can we branch on whether `\setbeamertemplate{bibliography item}[text]` is in force or not before doing that? I'm also...

> Do you know if there is a good way to check if the selected bibliography style is numeric? Not really, sorry. As you write, you could check `\blx@cbxfile` or...

Just a short heads-up: We are planning on releasing `biblatex` 3.15 and Biber 2.15 shortly. Since the Biber binaries need to be built by binary contributors it may take a...

I just noticed that the MWE gives me  with Biber 2.20 dev. In particular the `@set` entry does not get a `shorthand`. Not sure what the general expectation here...

Works great now!  @Doc73 You may want to check the `publisher` in `Latte1961`: It's probably `Olms` and not `Holms`.

Thanks for reporting this. Interestingly, `italian.lbx` has https://github.com/plk/biblatex/blob/289311628d1f71a4aed5bf516dbd5614a864a970/tex/latex/biblatex/lbx/italian.lbx#L16-L29 so it appears as though one of the original language contributors preferred this behaviour.
