I have a related question that maybe you can help with. I often find I was
to manipulate slightly the inter-item spacing for bibliography entries
generated by the "BibTeX Generated References" LyX directive. Unfortunately,
any reference to itemsep before or after this gray box has no effect and the
only way I can get things the way I want them is to edit the latex (well,
the bibtex generated) code itself. Is there any way to pass options to the
LyX bibtex generation entry?
cheers,
