I do not have a solution to your strange problem, but when you find the answer I very much hopy you'll publish it on the list. I am currently doing my final thesis using LyX, and the problem you are facing is exactly something like that I have nightmares about. For this reason, please tell us

Hi folks, looks like this isn't such a newbie question after all. Maybe I should ask it more carefully. I want to use LyX to produce systems of equations that look like this (output exported from LyX): $\left\{ \begin{array}{r} (3-\lambda)C & + & 2D & = & 0\\ C & + & (4-\lambda)D & = &

Thanks Herbert, you are a genius! Hope you don't mind a followup! :-) Is there a way to right justify the equation numbers? (I'm guessing the items in red are standard LaTeX macros I can find documented somewhere?) Thanks! Brian Send instant messages to your online friends
