I made it with eqarray, but it "only" allows me to have 3 columns. How
did you add more columns?
I tried using alignat and it works ok, except for the fact that LyX
doesn't show proper alignment (only the first column is right aligned,
while all of the others are left aligned.
Thanks for your help.
