Here is a solution using xfig to perform the required placement - create an xfig layout of the cover page, with new command names where text should appear (\covertitle, \coverauthor, \coverdate, \coverinstitute,..), and special flags set; maybe you may re-use \title, \author,... - add the corresponding styles in the layout - Insert->File->External Material I guess the main problem is to create the cover before LyX activates \maketitle. -- Jean-Pierre
