Hi Scott, Richard, thanks,
of course, I did read the complete error message several times - and

even more confused.
OK. A good strategy is to read the error message and then at the very
first part you get confused (this could be the first word in some
cases), ask a specific question so that people can try to give you a
specific answer. Otherwise it is easy to get overwhelmed.
Can you please try the following:
in LyX in the example document you sent which gives an error, can you
go to Document > Settings and click on the text box in "Class Options"
next to "Custom". Then put in "enabledeprecatedfontcommands". Click
"OK", and try to compile. Does it work for you?

Scott,
I did as you said: Bingo!
Should I go on with that workaround (because this one too is an
already deprecated class option) or is there anything else to be done?
It'd be worth reporting the error. It looks from here:
https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/covington?lang=en
as if the original author isn't "active" any longer. The latest patch
was from Robin Fairbairns. You could try emailing him. Another option
would be to post a message at the comp.text.tex news group. I've found
people really helpful.
