There are a bunch of options you can use, such as prototyping capes etc to get at the signals. The BBB is the first part in the stack of capes, and the LCD cape is designed to be the last cape in the stack. So if you want to access the extra pins, you need to get at them between the two.
The 7" from 4D Systems and the 7" from CircuitCo both allow you to access the extra pins. If you want to use the 4", then have a look at something like this: http://tigal.com/product/2413 Lots of other options too. Sandwich that in between your BBB and your LCD Cape and access the pins that way. Terry.
