Hello Paul
Thank you for your response. I've cut the Lyx document down to the
few first pages, and am also attaching the pdf output from it. You
will see one entry in the preamble that reverses the odd/even pages.
Without this, the right side (recto) pages show the left page
margins, but the numbering problem remains, with or without that
entry in the preamble.

I have in the past completed a lengthy book, using Lyx, without
needing to trouble anybody for help, but I'm now baffled by what
should be a simple, basic task and I have no idea what to try next.
My problem is that the pagestyle settings that should place page
numbers in the footer, are showing them in the output only on the
first page of each chapter, which the User Guide says is treated by
Lyx as a special environment.
I began with KOMA-Script ( scrbook) with pagestyle set to 'plain'
as I'd done previously. This places page numbers in the outer end
of the footer as I prefer them. When I found them only appearing on
the first page of each chapter I searched online and tried pasting
a few commands in the preamble but nothing helped and mostly I got
compilation errors. I've cleared the preamble.
I tried Lyx Standard Class (Book) with pagestyle set to 'plain',
which centred the page numbers as it should, but still only on
first pages of chapters. Neither was there any improvement after I
tried pagestyle set to 'fancy' and tried to customize that. It's as
though chapter footers are not accessible, except for first page.
In my document, immediately before the first chapter, I have the
following ERT: \mainmatter\pagestyle{plain} \setcounter{page}{1}
The frontmatter is fine because I have don't want page numbers
there and have pagestyle set to 'empty.' That, at least, has
worked; there were Roman numerals there to begin with.
Finally, I did a reinstallation of Lyx (ver. 2.3.6.1) in case of
corruption, (apparently not) and I'm now out of ideas.
I shall be truly grateful for any help, but I will need precise
instruction if I am to paste commands correctly into the preamble.
I really am an old novice.
Thank you
Hi Melvin,
Try removing the centering from the ERT with
\mainmatter\pagestyle{plain} \setcounter{page}{1}
That seems to mess things up, probably because pagestyle is then in an
environment?!? (Also, I think you can skip \setcounter{page}{1}
because \mainmatter should take care of that and you can switch back
to the KOMA-script book class.)
Best,
Daniel
Confirmed. Good catch!
Paul
