Just create a new inset by copying, e.g., the comment inset, and then

Thanks for the hint Richard. I read in the `Customization´ manual that I could add this on a per-file basis via the `Local Layout´. I tried that, validated it via button (validate ok) and can find it now in the paragraph style dropdown list.

Style MyNote
  Margin        Dynamic
  LatexType     Command
  LatexName     note
  Labelstring   "MyNote:"
End

I followed your advice plus changed LatexType to `Command´. I can now find it in the paragraph style dropdown list at the very end.

This works well for simple \note{stuff}, but I would like to be able to have an inset that I can insert after an itemize bullet point so that the LaTeX looks like

\begin{itemize}
\item one
\item<2-> two \note[item]<2>{Note about two}
\end{itemize}

So I went ahead, searched in the docs and the web. Then I tried to create an inset:

InsetLayout "Note:MyNote"
  LyXType       custom
  LabelString   "MyNote:"
  Decoration    classic
  Margin        Dynamic
  LatexType     command
  LatexName     note[item]
  NextNoIndent  1
  LeftMargin    MMM
  RightMargin   MMM
  Align Block
  AlignPossible Block, Left, Right, Center
  LabelSep      :x
  LabelFont
Shape   Italic
Series  Bold
Color   collapsable
  EndFont

  TextFont
        Color   magenta
        Shape   Italic
  EndFont
End

But I cannot find it under Insert > Note > ...

Where am I wrong?
