George,
The LyX endnote module uses the LaTeX endnote package, and so it would require
some LaTeX hacking to change things much I think. Memoir has its own commands
to put notes at the end(it calls them pagenotes so as not to conflict with the
endnotes package). The memoir commands are not the same, but the class does
provide all the same functionality, and a little more I believe. I've been
using memoir for a short while, and so I have a little familiarity there, and
I tried to hack something up from things I found before in the memoir manual.
Caveats:
*I'm new to the whole LaTeX thing, so it's probably pretty ugly, and the long
way around, but it is working fine for me here (LyX 2.0 beta).
*this will only work with the memoir class because it is built on
class-specific commands.
I wasn't sure exactly what result you wanted, but basically, what I've done is
made memoir convert footnotes to endnotes, and hang the paragraphs off of the
note numbers (I assume that is what you meant by "indented for all lines").
There are two possible options (available by commenting/uncommenting a few
appropriate lines): either to hang the paragraphs of of a superscript without a
space, or to hang the paragraphs off of normal text size numbers with a period
and a space.
You should be able to copy the code below straight into the preamble section of
your document settings, and then the only thing you have to do is put the
following into ERT in LyX at the end of each chapter:
\clearpage
\printpagenotes*
The memoir package manual has a lot more detail on endnotes in section 17.4,
and some helpful background in chapter 12.
Regards,
Daron
