Thanks Guenter. I want to view the lyx source code itself, so I can use that as a pattern for more sections.

I want to refer to previous sections of a document in
read-only mode in a new window, so I can keep a consistent
format for new sections written later in the same document.

I do not know of a straightforward way to achieve this.

Depending on what exactly you intend, there are two ways that spring to my
mind:

a) View>PDF  (or View>PS): the output is read-only of course.

b) open the file in a second lyx process, started as a different user with
  read-only rights for this file.
