Hi all,I am trying to use the package "tensind.sty" for typesetting tensors with multiple upper and lower indices in LyX. In LaTeX this works great: after defining a special "tensor delimiter" in the preamble (here I use the letter "?") one can in math mode type ?A^\mu_\nu? for northwest, southeast indices and ?A_\mu^\nu? for southwest, northeast indices following the tensor symbol A. Here, the order of super- and subscript matters! LyX seems to REORDER the super- and subscript in such a way that always the subscript comes first. Also, within tensind, ?g_\mu_\nu? is perfectly acceptable, and has a different meaning (and typeset result) than ?g_{\mu\nu}? Within LyX, one always gets the latter form due to automatic grouping in the math editor Is there a workaround?
You know how to type this in latex, therefore, there is a workaround: Type your tensor stuff in an ERT box, as raw latex. (Instead of using mathed for it). Non-tensor math can still go in the math editor of course. Consider filing a wishlist bug at bugzilla.lyx.org, perhaps someone pick this up and fixes it some day. (Likely not right now, lyx is in a feature freeze before version 1.5.0) Helge Hafting
