There's a long-standing request for non-math macros, which is exactly
what's needed here. Someday when I have time to work on LyX again, I
might take that on.

My workaround is as follows:
I changed the [0] number of arguments in the LaTeX command to [1] in
order to consume the argument. Once I did that, whatever I put in the
character style does not show up in the PDF.
Next, I changed the LyX label font size from Larger to Small, so it
wouldn't take up as much line length. Finally, I put a bunch of z
characters in the inset, so the inset and the label would be
approximately the same length. What this accomplished is that the title
actually looks reasonable in a line in the LyX authoring environment,
and the correct title shows up in the PDF.
Several of you had excellent ideas, including ERT LaTeX command, a Perl
script, and some other ideas. Thanks for the great ideas. Ultimately, I
decided that my workaround best meets my workflow needs for this
project.
Thanks,
SteveT
