Thanks, it worked. It did teach a bit though and I ended up taking the idea
and abusing it a bit to use enumerations. More work if it was pure latex, but
in lyx a lot easier
I defined in the header
\renewcommand{\labelenumi}{[\thesection-\arabic{enumi}]}
Now I can just write the whole document as an enumeration environment and I
don't need to retype the \p for each paragraph (like I said, for pure latex it
would have been a lot harder since it requires an \item for each paragraph
instead of just \p but the wonders of lyx help me here). I'm sure that this
can also be done by hacking a lyx document class file but I don't have the
time since I have a day and a bit to start and finish writing my research
proposal ...
