Hello All,

I am trying to write my thesis in the humanities with LyX and have checked
around on the Wiki and this list and have not yet found an answer to my
question.  My thesis guidelines require me to use Chicago style footnotes
plus a bibliography for references.  I have decided that the easiest way to
comply fully with Chicago in LyX is to forget about bibtex and just do the
citations manually.  This has worked fine so far, but I want to compile my
bibliography now (again, manually, entering in each work).  The problem is
that LyX's default behaviour is to use numerical references so that every
time one adds an entry, one gets:

[1] Op, The Continental. A Title. Place: Publisher & Co., 1993

is there any way to suppress those numbers?  I realize it would be kind of
silly if there was a way, since this would defeat the purpose of numerical
citations, but I still hope that there might be a way to get LyX to "do the
right thing".  So, I would want it to show up like:

Op, The Continental. A Title. Place: Publisher & Co., 1993

Davenport, Lucas. A Title. Place: Publisher & Co., 1993

Parker, Charlie. A Title. Place: Publisher & Co., 1993

... etc.

and likewise if the entry would extend to two lines, the second line would
be indented more than the first.  I have figured out that this is the
'openbib' option in memoir, but I still can't get the numbers to go away.

Any assistance you could provide would be most welcome.  Basically I just
want to list all my works in a bibliography in chicago style.
