It's time for my monthly "fingerpaint the frontmatter" suggestion.

In my opinion, the styles based nature of LyX is ideal for a document's
Mainmatter, where everything should be consistent.

But in my opinion, the frontmatter is a bunch of one-off stuff that's
much better done using ERT than trying to shoehorn a Document Class
into doing stuff like center aligning something or tailoring vertical
space, or for gosh sakes including a full sized cover image.
