OK, maybe I'm missing something here.

I've defined a new style, ~/.lyx/scores.layout as an adaptation of
books.layout as follows:

===== begin scores.layout ====
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
#  \DeclareLaTeXClass[book]{Book with score lines}
# Author: Joseph Zitt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Style score0
  CopyStyle Paragraph
  Margin Static
  LeftMargin ""
  Align left
END

Style score1
  CopyStyle Paragraph
  Margin Static
  LeftMargin "MM"
  Align left
END

Style score2
  CopyStyle Paragraph 
  Margin Static
  LeftMargin "MMMM"
  Align left
END

Style score3
  CopyStyle Paragraph
  Margin Static
  LeftMargin "MMMMMM"
  Align left
END

==== end scores.layout ====

I did Options->Reconfigure, reopened LyX, created a new document, and
set it to the scores layout. I found two problems:

1) The document now had *only* those four styles, whereas I had
expected that it would have the new styles plus those in this file.

2) They formatted as I expected onscreen, but when I output them to
DVI all the indenting was gone.

Have I misunderstood something?
