I was talking about LyX macros. I realize that they are basically a
synonym for LaTeX' \newcommand, but having them in text seemed more
user-friendly.
The other thing is that having to have all the commands in all preambles
is problematic because every change to the definition of a macro
somewhere has to be propagated everywhere else.
No need. You don't write the commands themselves into every
preamble. You only put one line in the preamble:
\input{mymacros.tex}
Then stick your latex macro collection in mymacros.tex. Only one
place to change them - the master document as well as the
chapters will pick this up.
