Okay, I found my layouts in /usr/local/share/lyx. (I was looking in
/usr/share for the lyx folder before). I found memoir.layout and copied
it to my local ~/.lyx/layout directory. I then modified the Standard
style to look like this:
Style Standard
Margin Static
LatexType Paragraph
LatexName dummy
ParIndent MM
ParSkip 0.4
Align Left
AlignPossible Block, Left, Right, Center
LabelType No_Label
I just changed one line: the value of Align from Block to left. This
gives me a left layout, but it no longer indents my paragrahs. I can get
around this by changing the paragraph separator in LyX to vertical
space, but I would prefer to have a first line indentation. I'm almost
possible that the way I got this to work was by doing something with
labels. I tried changing LabelThpe to Static and including a LabelString
to "MM" but that just gave me an M at the start of my paragraph.
