I think lyx2lyx converts some cases it should not. To reproduce an error, do the following: 1. In a LyX with a previous format (any commit before this one) start a new document and go to Insert > Label and put "a--b" and press OK. 2. Save the document. 3. Open the document in a LyX compiled with this present commit. I get the error: "Unknown parameter name: b". If I open the saved LyX document and just change 480 to 481 (so that lyx2lyx is not called) and open the document, there is no problem. By the way, the cycling thing works very smooth! Well done.
