In this regard, it would also be nice if one could point Lyx to module files that are located outside ~/.lyx This way I could save the module file together with my document (in a git repo) and have it ready wherever I need it. Contrary to what I wrote before, passing the options as global options to the document class *does* work. On my first try, I didn't see the effect because I use the tikzexternalize package and todonotes renders its notes with Tikz. This prevented rerendering. David
