I use the emacs version as that's my main writing tool.
In the current situation I had copied soil map unit characteristics

so I highlighted the title from the second letter of the first word. The
shortcut didn't work. It also didn't work when I highlighted the entire
string. Shrug.
I don't do this that often yet wonder if I type the emacs command (that
would normallly follow M-x in emacs) into some place in the lyx buffer
if I
would get the same results. Unfortunately, the number of keys required to
type the command is greater than using the Edit -> Text -> to lower

trackball.
I just tested at my end. Alt+C down turns the word to lower case.
Highlighting a portion and typing "word-lowcase partial" in the command
buffer does what you were trying to do (turns the selection to lower
case). So, bottom line, it should work on your system, unless the
shortcut got redefined.
Have you tried going into Tools > Preferences > Editing > Shortcuts and
typing "alt+c" into the search box at the top? It should tell you to
what Alt+C Down is currently bound. If it is unbound, or if it is bound
to something you don't use, you could just rebind it.
