Hello!

I'm trying to write a novel in LyX, and I run into some problems with
sectioning.

The structure I have in mind is, the book would be divided into 50+ parts,
each part having ten or so short chapters (about 50-60 pages per part). The
most natural document layout would be a book. Each part would be stored in a
separate LyX file, with one master document to bind them all.

The problem is, while I do want the book parts to be titled, I don't want
the chapters titled, just numbered.

So, the document structure would be:
Part I Blah blah blah
  Chapter 1
  Chapter 2
  Chapter 3
  ...
Part II Bleh Bleh Bleh
  Chapter 1
  Chapter 2
  ...

I have already found a way to reset the chapter numbers after every part, so
it's not a problem. Well, actually it's a glitch: while the DVI/PDF output
is correct, LyX still counts chapters from Part 1.

The real problem is, how do I make the chapters untitled?

I know I can put a single hard space (Ctl-Space) as the chapter's title, but
it's a waste of space on a chapter title page, and it won't look right in
the TOC.

Is there any way to do this without using ERT on every single chapter
heading?

Since this is a novel, there is no need to do cross-referencing, so if your
solution doesn't handle it, it's not an issue for me.

Thanks in advance,

Piotr Sulecki.
