Dear Stefano, dear list,
thank you very much! You understood correctly, that´s exactly what I
meant. I tried out the first step so far, and the results are sort of
funny:
First I entered the page number I want to be displayed in Lyx´s "Text
after" citation dialogue, as you mentioned. This was a citation of the
"incollection"-type. In this case, and this is great, in the footnote
I see the pagenumbers of the whole article, and, after that, in
german: "hier S. 151" – which is "here…"
In the other case i did just the same: I entered the pagenumber of the
quotation in the citation dialogue, also with the "incollection"-type.
I can see no difference in what I did, but I get a different result:
Here the pagenumbers of the whole article are displayed, and after
that just the pagenumber, but without the "here…". So the result here
is the same as if I would have put it into Lyx´s text-field directly.
I´m using BibLatex with the Wassenhoven-sytle. Do you need any more
information?
Thanks again, best
E

Dear list,
I use Bibdesk 1.3.22 on OSX with Lyx. In the footnotes of, eg.
"incollection" the pages of the article are displayed (like, in
german
"S. 364–378). My problem with this is, that in the majority of
cases I
just want to enter one page-number, from which I quote, and I don´t
want to have displayed the pages of the whole article. Is that
possible, although I have entered the whole article in BibDesk? I
like
to save that there for some special cases, where I need to know the
page-numbers of the whole article.
I hope this is understandable, best*

If I understand you correctly, you want to see only the page number
you are
citing from in the citation you see in a footnote. You bibtex database
(created with BibDesk), on the other hand, contains the full
reference,
including page numbers for the complete article.There are two steps
to this.
First one is easy: you should make sure you enter the page number
you are
citing from in the "Text after" field of Lyx's citation dialog (the
dialog
box that pops up when you go to Insert>>Citation).
Second step is more tricky, and it depends very much on:
1. the bibliography package you are using in your lyx document:
standard
Bibtex, Jurabib, Biblatex, etc.
2. The bibliography style you are using (which depends on the former)
3. Whether you want the complete reference (including initialpage-
lastPage) in
the references section at the end of the article in addition to the
footnotes.
You need to indicate which setup you are currently using to receive
more help
(at least from me).
Cheers,
S.
