Re: Equation annotations in a multiline equation
I'm able to type plain text as you've suggested but I'm still unable
to get the alignment and spacing right. I can type text to the right
of an equation on a given line, spacing it out from the equation using
something like \quad. However, then the annotations from different
lines of the equation won't necessarily align. Alternately I can add a
column to the aligned environment. That takes care of horizontal
alignment but unfortunately then I run into problems with spacing, as
there is little spacing between the annotation and the math part of
the equation. This can sometimes be solved by adding a blank column to
the aligned environment, but in other cases the blank column doesn't
seem to do much and may in fact affect the alignment in other columns.

Try, within an aligned environment, entering a standard inline math
environment. This will give you a blue rectangle, and if you type something
there, it will be in standard Roman text. It is a \text{} environment.
Alternately, heck, you can type \text and hit the Enter key; you will then
be in the text environment you want, but I have enter an inline math
environment linked to F10, so I just hit F10. You can leave that
environment by moving the cursor.
This is normally bound to Ctrl-M. In math, it has the effect of introducing
a text box.

Re: Equation annotations in a multiline equation
Thanks, after pasting in the text and then examining it I was able to
figure out the correct approach. It appears my earlier alignment
difficulty stemmed from placing the equals sign in its own column. Now
I create a four-column structure in the align environment, with
equation= in the first column, equation in the second column, nothing
in the third column, and the annotation in the last column. This gets
me exactly what I had in pure LaTeX, which makes sense.

Try this: Copy that very text and paste it into LyX (as plain text). Now
highlight
that same text and hit Ctrl-M. Look at ViewSource to see what LyX will now
generate.

Equation annotations in a multiline equation
I'm trying to understand how I can add annotations that sit to the
right of each line of a multiline equation. For example, in a proof,
such annotations might provide justification for each step in the
proof.
In pure LaTeX I could accomplish this like so:
\begin{align*}
h(x) = \int_a^b{[f(x)+g(x)]dx} \text{(Some annotation)}\\
= \int_a^b{y(x)dx} \text{(Another annotation)}
\end{align*}'
However, I'm not sure how to achieve the same effect in LyX.
