How to tweak volcite in biblatex-chicago to cite volume and page using Arabic numerals separated by a colon
Is there a simple way to change biblatex-chicago's treatment of volcite commands such that when citing a volume and page of a multi-volume book, it outputs "[vol]:[page(s)]" instead of "vol. [vol], p./pp. [page(s)]"? (But when citing only the volume or volumes, but no page, I don't want it to change the output.)
Here is my MWE:
documentclass{article}
usepackage[notes]{biblatex-chicago}
addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
begin{document}
volcite{1}[50]{knuth:ct}. mancite
volcite{1--2}{knuth:ct}.
end{document}
I would like the output to be
Donald E. Knuth, Computers & Typesetting, 5 vols. (Reading, Mass.: Addison- Wesley, 1984–1986), 1:50.
Knuth, Computers & Typesetting, vols. 1–2.

You can do this by redefining volcitedelim and mkvolcitenote.
The one caveat is that something like volcite{1}[a note]{knuth:ct} will give slightly unexpected results. But is is easy enough to work around by putting non-page number postnotes outside the citation command.
documentclass{article}
usepackage[notes]{biblatex-chicago}
addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
renewcommand*{volcitedelim}{addcolon}
renewrobustcmd*{mkvolcitenote}[2]{%
ifblank{#2}
{printtext[volcitevolume]{#1}}
{printtext{#1}volcitedelimprinttext{#2}}}
begin{document}
volcite{1}[50]{knuth:ct}. mancite
volcite{1--2}{knuth:ct}.
end{document}

Thank you! This is perfect. I noticed that the style guidelines I am looking at eliminate the comma aftershorthands in the case of a multivolume work, e.g., "CCAG 5:102" instead of "CCAG, 5:102". (But still keeping the comma in the case of ashorthandfollowed by just a page number.) Is there an extra line one could add for that functionality?

@AlexRoberts, this is probably worth a separate question.biblatex-chicagois not always easy to modify and you will get a better quality of answer if others see it too.
