Greetings. I'm redoing through lyx a book whose 1st edition I wrote in latex. All has worked excellently well -- much quicker than the original latex -- except one problem. I'm using KOMA scrbook, which forces a blank page after the title page. (The first edition used memoir which doesn't have the problem.) But I need to put publication info on the backside (verso) of the title page, and can't figure out how to override the forced blank page. (Other forced blank pages after part and chapter headings are not an issue.)
I see provision for the environments "uppertitleback" and "lowertitleback" under scrbook, which promise to do most of what I want (maybe all), but I can't get them to work. The manual says that the matter within the environment must be put before the \maketitle command. I'm not sure where LyX puts that command, but in latex it comes just after the titlepage information (title, author, date, publisher) is entered. So I put the matter with environment just after \frontmatter (i.e. immediately above the titlepage matter), but it still appears on the next righthand (recto) page after the titlepage; and I also tried putting it in the middle of the titlepage matter, and at the end, but it still comes on the next recto page. Same with matter in the lowertitleback environment. I've tried it by typing in the matter in lyx and selecting the environment from the dropdown menu, and I've tried it by entering latex code. Same thing. So, to state it simply, I want to put a page-worth of material on the backside of the title page, where scrbook forces a blank page. Anything that works is fine -- the simpler the better. The one workaround mentioned above may not be sufficient even if I could get it to work, which I can't, because uppertitleback and lowertitleback seem to be designed for a single paragraph each, and I have several worth of publication data. Using LyX 2.1.4 under Ubuntu 16.04. Many thanks for any help. Swami
