I'm routinely using makeindex with the option -r (explicit ranges only) in a script I run after exporting to LaTeX.
Is there a way to do it within LyX? It'd be nice, and faster, too, but I haven't found this feature in LyX Preferences. Perhaps something could be added manually to the config files?
a misbehaviour of LyX, because it is hardcoded. You can write a scipt, called makefile. Put it a path which is searched first and then call from this the default makeindex. LyX calls makeindex with
makeindex -p -s filename
