I'm sure someone with more knowledge than me will respond. Did you know that there is already a Chicago.bst available in LyX. If you insert a bibtex bibliography just select the Chicago style, then under Document->Settings->Bibliography select Natbib and Author-Year style. I don't know about Chicago footnote styling. There is also this page http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/HumanitiesLyX that is specifically written for humanities type work. Maybe something will help there also. Cheers, Bob
