I don't really care about the text box. I didn't ask for it, Lyx stuck it in there. Are you saying that multline cannot be used inside any other math formula? That's quite restrictive. I didn't see any mention of that in the AMS documentation. Can you point me to where it says that cheers > What you want to try is simply not possible in LaTeX.
