also no problem, but a lot of restrictions in LyX writing correct
math code ...


The restriction, that one can't create a formula inside another formula, is a bug in my opinion:

Or do you see other restrictions?

- try to insert the formula into mathed - converting the text $..$ into math with ctrl-m is totally buggy ... but this I said years ago


Attached only one of different solutions.


Thanks for your help. But just a question to your solution:

When I want to use a length instead of the plain TeX command \wd, why does this work:

no need to use the LaTeX commands here ... make things not clearer

\newlength{\slength}
\settowidth{\slength}{$P_{3}+P_{2}-P_{1}$}

but this not:

\newlength{\slength}
\settowidth{\slength}{\lW}


\settowidth\slength{\usebox\lW}
