This thread and a couple of earlier ones (all with apa6 as part of the subject line) are all I know about at the moment. I am not even sure if it has official LyX support at the moment though it should have soon (http://ca-mg6.mail.yahoo.com/neo/launch?.rand=al1818dfpq47u#mail). The documentation at the moment seems to consist of the various posts helping me get it to work as I bumbled from one stupid mistake to another. You might want to start with Jacob Bishops post http://ca-mg6.mail.yahoo.com/neo/launch?.rand=al1818dfpq47u#mail which supplies the apa6 and natbibapa files and then have a look at http://ca-mg6.mail.yahoo.com/neo/launch?.rand=al1818dfpq47u#mail for details on the biblatex setup and then have a look at Jacob's working version of an apa6/biblatex file http://ca-mg6.mail.yahoo.com/neo/launch?.rand=al1818dfpq47u#mail I think if you are reasonably competent in LaTeX/LyX if is fairly straight-forward. Obviously I am not but I got it working. Best of luck and I suspect Jacob and the other people who came to my aid will be happy to help.
