I have used this in the past:

This in the preamble:

\newcommand{\bmath}[1]{\boldsymbol{#1}}
\let\newcommand=\providecommand

and this in the main body:

\begin_inset FormulaMacro
\newcommand{\bmath}[1]{{#1}}

\end_inset

\begin_inset FormulaMacro
\newcommand{\Matrix}[1]{\bmath{#1}}

\end_inset

I now need nothng in the preamble because this works perfectly:
\begin_inset FormulaMacro
\newcommand{\Matrix}[1]{\boldsymbol{#1}}
{\mathbf{#1}}
\end_inset

Hope this helps...
