Hi all,

I don’t know why I didn’t think to include the lyx file in the email (since my 
original post was on the LyX subreddit, which was why I used pictures instead). 
Anyway, attached is an example lyx file.

Thanks you.

Regards,
Hisham

Hi everyone,

How do I go about compressing the horizontal spacing (highlighted in yellow, in 
case it's unclear what I'm trying to ask here) between author and year, both in 
individual references and grouped references like in the third line.

[cid:part3.71CB00AB.82C8ADB5@gmail.com]

The spacing between Adam and (2020) seems like there's double spacing, instead 
of a single space. Also, when referencing multiple papers, I want the comma to 
hug the name. i.e. I want it to be:

NAME, YEAR instead of

NAME , YEAR which is what it's doing right now.

I tried tweaking the preamble and options but I can't seem to get it to work. 
I'm using Style format "Natbib(BibTeX)", variant "Author-year" and Biblio style 
"plainnat"

I hope I’ve been sufficient clear with my question.

Thanks!

Regards,
Hisham





Can you post a minimal example (LyX file plus .bib file if you are using an 
external bibliographic database)? That would help us suss out what is going on.

Paul



Is the attached file what you want? I just removed the space from the label 
field of each bibliography entry (but left it in the key field).

Paul
