Dear LyXers,

after using LyX now for over a decade (thanks to the developers, great
job!), I recently ran into a slight problem where I haven't been able
yet to figure out what the cause could be.
I'm currently writing an assignment and need to cite literature. For
doing so I use biblatex and biber as backend - works fine. However when
I want to adjust the form of the citation (as it can be achieved when
selecting the style pre-defined in the bib entry mask), the form I need
is not available. In general this is no problem, since once can adjust
this with either of the following commands:

\bibpunct{(}{)}{,}{a}{ }{,}

\setcitestyle{aysep={ }}

The style I need is without a comma after the author and the year in
brackets, e.g. Miller (2013), S. 145
In the PDF with the selected style from the bib entry menu (which I
think should use this style), it is displayed as Miller, (2013, S. 145)

After looking through the web, the solutions I found suggest, that you
just put one of the two mentioned commands in your preamble. However by
doing so, I get an error when I try to compile the doc. It says: " \bibpunct
              {(}{)}{a}{,}{,}
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined."

So, what could this be? When I try to use the \usepackage{natbib} in the
preamble, I get also an error, that natbib is already in use - which is
logical, since it is activated in the settings.

I'm using XeTeX for compiling, LyX 2.1.4 and TeXlive 2015 - running on
Linux Mint

Attached is a small example with my current settings.
Would be great if someone could point me on something I'm missing.

Oliver
