Of course I've meant to change the orientation for all headlines of a
certain level. Not only for single ones. I only thought, that a GUI
for doing that would be good, because that's a thing, that many users
who are not familiar with LaTeX have to do, e.g. because their
university wants that.

PS: Sorry, if it seemed I was flooding the list. But yes, I've read
the introduction, the tutorial and the user-guide. But I was so
excited of the software, that I wanted to share some ideas to discuss,
that maybe could make LyX even better. Esp. for beginners. Of course I
posted some things (like cursor-width) that are possible already and I
didn't knew. I'm sorry for that. But I still think, that many of the
other ideas are worth thinking about it. Because standard-settings
like the orientation of headlines (or the position of page-numbers,
see other thread) are so essential and commonly needed for many users,
that they should be possible in the document-settings-GUI without
writing LaTeX in preambles, modifying modules, and so on. For
sophisticated things that's okay, but not for basics that many user
need to do.

Best regards, Pascal
