Extracting the example from 19.3 in the maths manual and compiling it separately, the numbering in the pdf is (1), (1a), (1b), equation (1) being what you mean by the outer equation (I assume). In my example documents there is no outer equation. They are treated equally and so are numbered (1a) and (1b). And yet I would still like to be able to refer to them collectively as "the equations (1)". (I can imagine some discussion like: "The answer to this question is contained in the equations (1). By substituting from (1b) into (1a), ....")
Yes, I understood you correctly. But the point is still that math.lyx doesn't try to explain what you do, it only explains the subnumbering. Besides this I am still wondering why you make it so complicated to reference 1, 1a, 1b. If you need this you can simply use 1, 2, 3. (you don't need subequations) Regards Uwe
