You can put in ERT just after the end of your Longtable and before 
\end{ThreePartTable}

\begin{tablenotes}
\footnotesize
\item[1] A note 
\item[2] Another note 
\end{tablenotes} 


Beware 'tablenotes' and not 'TableNotes'

Couldn't you have stuck to a nice simple table? :)

Personally I'd go with what you have. The best is the enemy of the good.

If someone gets picky and wants a table heading or "continued on next page"
crap just stick it in a custom header or footer.

The only other thing I can think of, and remember I know nothing about the
subject area---not even what it is---would be to radically revamp the table
layout to present the data in a completely different way.

What way I don't know  but it seems like it might be possible just because
you seem to have too many footnotes.  For example is there any way to break
the table down into sub-tables with all elements with a footnote 1 in a
table and so on?  Remember, I'm just rambling as I have not idea of the
subject matter and have not spent any real time analyzing the layout of the
data

Otherwise, I'd say any extra work on what you already have done is going to
be  superfluous.

Hi Tyler
As Jacob also mentioned we really need to see an actual example of what you
are trying to do.  Here is a discussion on how to approach the task :
http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/MinimalExample

On the other hand, given all the coding you already have done, I'd suggest
doing the whole thing in LaTeX, that is, just stay in the ERT environment.

I have never found LyX tables that easy to fill in---nice to work with
otherwise but in terms of data entry, meh, not a lot easier than raw LaTeX.

See a example I stole from somewhere on the web and slightly adapted a
while ago.  It is attached below.

Re: threeparttablex with longtable

[Tyler Grummett]

Hello John,


Yes the normal threeparttable package works for me with normal tables in a 
table float, however I need table notes in a long table.


I have the following in ERT before the table (which is manually inserted using 
the lyx GUI)


\begin{ThreePartTable}
\begin{TableNotes}
\item[a] A note
\item[b] Another note
\end{TableNotes}


I then make the table. However the threeparttablex package asks for you to put 
in a line of ERT code that says \insertTableNotes, however as the code includes 
\end{longtable} when you make a table, you cant put it in anywhere.


I have compromised (if there is no solution) by inserting some ERT code in the 
bottom row of the table:


\footnotesize
1 = blah
2 = blah blah
3 = blah blah blah

which makes most of the code written before the table vestigial, Ill remove it 
if there isnt a solution haha.

Cheers for the prompt reply,

Tyler

Hi Tyler;
Could you upload a minimal example of the table. It is not clear to me exactly 
how you are using the ERT.

Is the entire table in the ERT or are you using a LyX-type table with the 
Insert commands in an ERT?

Does the normal threeparttable package work for you? Is it just a longtable
and threeparttablex-specific problem? If so, have you tried putting the
entire table in ERT? For this, there is a demo table in the threeparttablex
package. That's where I would start, then try to go to a lyx table with ERT
until it the source preview pane gives you about the same as it did with
pure ERT. A minimal example would also be useful as suggested by John.

Hello Lyx,


Im having a problem when using threeparttablex with longtables. In order to see 
the table I am working with, I have chosen to use ERT code to 
\begin{ThreePartTable} and then \begin{TableNotes}  \end{TableNotes} etc 
then ive inserted a table and made it a long table.
