Hello,

DId you use \chapter* for the preface title? The starred version does not
affect headers. I saw in the preamble that you sent that you use
\pagenumbering{roman}, I'm guessing that means you are unaware of the
\frontmatter, \mainmatter, \backmatter commands.

These macros are usually defined in book document classes. The purpose of
\frontmatter is to make the pages numbered in lower case roman numerals,
and the chapters to be unnumbered (even the unstarred version), but the
chapters (using \chapter not \chapter*) will appear in in the ToC and will
change \chaptermark as usual.

I think currently lyx is not supporting \frontmatter, so you will need to
use it with ERT, and you should note that because of that chapters in the
front matter will be numbered in the GUI but not in the exported pdf. The
problem with that is it will affect the numbers in the main matter, that's
why i usually write the chapters in the front matter in ERT (i.e i write
\chapter{Chapter Name} in ERT). I've provided a minimal example to
demonstrate that (note the page numbering although i did not write anything
in the preamble, and see which chapters are in the ToC).

For more information I suggest you read this page

Udi
