If you're not using BibTeX, and you're adding the footnote references
manually, then there's not really any need to use the Bibliography
environment, either, which is what is causing your problem. That
automatically adds reference information, and there's not much you can
do about it, I don't think---though I could be wrong. A simple solution
would be to define a paragraph type that would give you the 'hanging'
appearance you want. You can use hanging.sty to do that, but the
following just borrows the relevant code. Add it to your layout file
(i.e., copy memoir.layout to your local LyX directory, and put this at
the end):
Style Hanging
LatexType Environment
LatexName hangparagraphs
Align Block
Margin Static
LeftMargin "MMMM"
ParIndent "-MMMM"
Preamble
%Hanging paragraph code borrowed from hanging.sty
\newcommand{\hangpara}{\hangindent 2em \hangafter 1 \noindent}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\everypar={\hangpara}}{\par}
EndPreamble
End
If you want more of a hang, you can adjust the 2em as you wish.

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.
