Rich,
The file invoice-template.lyx does not use aesllc-invoice.lco.
aesllc-invoice.lyx and aesllc-invoice.lco are used together but have
nothing to do with invoice-template.lyx.
I wrote a lco file named invoice-template.lco from all instructions
preceding the KOMAoptions line in the preamble of invoice-template.lyx.
I modified invoice-template.lyx (new name is invoice-template.new.lyx)
to use this lco file. And in this lco, I added the EIN number below the
logo in a minipage.
Best regards

Rich,
It seems to me that you don't need the lco file: I created it to put all
your settings in it. Since you still have these settings after the call
to the lco, they are duplicated and I don't think it's a good idea.
Just remove these 2 lines:
%% Load an *.lco style file (see KOMA documentation)
\LoadLetterOption{Rich}%

Rich,
You said that you made a copy of DIN to create your My.lco. Did you
delete these lines?
"
\LetterOptionNeedsPapersize{%
DIN%
}
{a4}
"
They should be replaced by:
"
\LetterOptionNeedsPapersize{%
My%
}{letter}

Rich,
The error message was:
Class scrlttr2 Warning: head of first page is 17.22406pt too high.
The default firstheadvpos in DIN file is 8mm. Since 17 pt is approx.
6mm, I would try:

The important thing is \@setplength commands go before the \KOMAoptions

sense to put them in a file called "lco".

My reference manual says (chapter 4 page 189): " By the way, the DIN lco-file will always be loaded as the first lco file. This ensures that all pseudo-lengths will have more or less reasonable default values. Because of this, it is not necessary to load this default file on your own. " If you don't call one in your preamble, I assume that all pseudo-lengths used will be those of DIN.lco. If you want to modify the default, create your own lco file and call it in the preamble.

Rich,
My scrguien.pdf is old as well (file dated 2013-02-25). It has

These \@setplength should be in the lco file (letter class options)
which is called in the Latex preamble with
\LoadLetterOption{lcofile}%
I don't think you can use them anywhere in your Lyx document.
Have a look at any of the lco file you have (DIN.lco f.ex.).

Hello Rich,
You need to use the pseudo-lengths shown in figure 17.1 (In my
scrguien.pdf, chapter 17 page 296)
firstheadvpos
vertical distance of letterhead from top paper edge (section 17.1.2,
page 299)
To set a pseudo-length (f.ex. setting firstheadvpos to 15mm)
\@setplength{firstheadvpos}{15mm}

Re: Footer in Koma letter - \lfoot - \cfoot - \rfoot
Le 24/06/2014 05:37, Charlie a écrit : In: Debian Jessie using: Lyx Version 2.0.6 I wanted to put a horizontal line and beneath it a custom footer, that has the three elements: \lfoot - \cfoot - \rfoot So that I can place three different names and address details onto the first page of the document. Hi Charlie, Which version of KomaScript are you using? On a recent version of the user's guide (scrguien.pdf dated 2012-05-15.) , there is an example (at the end of section 4.10, page 178) of a first page footer with 2 columns (left and right). It won't be very difficult to add a center column. -- Jean-Marie

If you have a 2.9x version of KomaScript (like me) the following
modified example will do what you want. If your version is > 3.x you
should replace the first line "\firstfoot{%" with
"\setkomavar{firstfoot}{%".
All this has to be inserted in your .lco parameter file.

Re: ICO file - allow text to go lower on page.....

Hi Charlie, You can add the line ,enlargefirstpage=true at the end of the class options in the preamble (between the lines %,refline=wide% and } in my lyx version). Also, to get my page number on the second page lower to the bottom of the page, at the moment it is about 50mm from the bottom. I think this has something to do with the same setting that would fix the above. The foot position on the first page does not apply to the next pages.

Re: letter (KOMA-Script v.2) Space between closing and

A picture being worth a thousand words, Figure 6.1 in the
scrguien.pdf is your friend.
My reply follows:
Hello Jean-Marie,
I have seen that diagram but again don't know how to work it. The
different first commands like:
\@addtoplength
or
\@setplength or whatever.
Hi Charlie,
First, as my own copy of the guide is quite old (my figure 6.1 is now
17.1), I updated it now from the last one dated 2012-05-15 which is here:
http://www.komascript.de/files/scrguien.pdf
So the page numbers I'm using now refer to this last version of the guide.
How does one understand these commands? How does one know which to use
where?
Read section 4.2 Pseudo-Lengths (page 135). With my words:
All these pseudo-lengths have a default value. If you want to change
this default value and make it completly different you use \@setplength.
If you want to slightly modify it, you use \@addtoplength.
I have attached the diagram you sent and added the commands that you
have helped me with in green and red.
I have also tried to make the signature on my letter template come to
the left of the page with these commands, none of which work:
\@setplength{sigindent}{\raggedleft} without success [...]
And many more, to numerous to mention here, but never the right one.
\@setplength{sigindent}{0mm}
will place the box containing the signature on the left side but this is
already defined in the DIN.lco
It's probably worthwhile to make your own version of the DIN.lco that
you are using. Copy it under a new name (myDIN.lco f.ex.) in the
directory where you have your lyx letters and modify it as you wish:
Instead of using
\@addtoplength{firstheadvpos}{1cm}
after calling the original DIN.lco where this plength is set, you can
replace inside your new lco the
\@setplength{firstheadvpos}{8mm}
by
\@setplength{firstheadvpos}{18mm}
Don't forget to call your lco file in the preamble:
\LoadLetterOption{myDIN}%
To place the signature inside the closing box on the left you have to
change in your lco file
\let\raggedsignature=\centering
to
\let\raggedsignature=\raggedright

Re: change subject alignment in letter koma-script v.2
Giovanni Bacci a écrit :
[...]
Anyway, I'd like to know if it's possible to change subject alignment
in a letter koma-script v.2 class. As an option i can only choose
{before,after}opening and titled/untitled. Both of them came with
a center aligned text. But what i'd like to obtain is a left justified
alignment. I've googled a bit, but without finding any clue.
Any hints?
Default subject (i.e. beforeopening and untitled) is left justified.
Only the title (if selected) is centered. This can be seen on figure
6.1: Schematic of letter paper's pseudo lengths.
So I don't really understand your request: do you want the title to be
left justified?

I must be on the wrong track then, and my apologies to Jean-Marie and

It is the Sender Name that has my name and address so obviously I am
looking at the wrong thing?
So renew my question:
Debian Testing [Squeeze] Using LyX Version 1.6.5
Letter [KOMA - Script-v.2]
Which of the commands below affect the Sender Name field
If you look at the manual scrguien.pdf everything you need is visible in
figure 6.1: Schematic of letter paper's pseudo lengths. The pseudo
length for Sender Name vertical position is called firstheadvpos. To
adjust it you can add in the preamble:
\...@addtoplength{firstheadvpos}{2cm}
You can also create your own lco parameter file (derived from the
DIN.lco you are using) to suit your needs.

May be I don't understand the question, but to add a bit more space

precisely the measure of the vertical space added to the predefined

Your KOMA-Script version is probably the most recent one (mine is old).
The simplest rule is as follows: either refhpos is left at null and so

Using this info I commented out refline and tried to set refwidth

Just make sure that the Koma-script options list does not start with a

...
%% THE CLASS OPTIONS
%% Remove preceeding '%' to uncomment an item
\KOMAoptions{%
%,headsepline=true%separate the header with a line on page 1
%,footsepline=true% separate the footer with a line on page 1
%pagenumber=botcenter% position of the page number (see docu)
%,parskip=false% Use indent instead of skip (more options cf. docu)
,fromalign=center%alignment of the address

,fromphone=true% print sender phone number
%,fromfax=true% print sender fax number
,fromemail=true% print sender e-mail address
,fromurl=true% print sender URL
%,fromlogo=true% print a logo (position depends on fromalign)
%,addrfield=false%print an address field?
%,backaddress=false% print the back address?
%,subject=afteropening,titled% alternative subject layout and position
%,locfield=narrow% width of the (extra) location field
%,foldmarks=false% print foldmarks?
%,numericaldate=true% date layout
%,refline=wide% layout of the refline
}
You will notice that the first uncommented option
(,fromalign=center%...) starts with a comma). If you try to use this
template with a more recent Lyx version (in fact a more recent
Koma-script version) you will get this error:
You have used \KOMAoptions to set `',
but KOMA-Script does not know any option named `'.
See the KOMA-Script manual for more informations about options and
their values.
The solution is to edit the Latex preamble (Menu Document-Parameters

without the preceding comma.
I understand from Uwe that the new templates for Koma-script letter2 no

You will notice that the first uncommented option
(",fromalign=center%...") starts with a comma). If you try to use this
template with a more recent Lyx version (in fact a more recent
Koma-script version) you will get this error:
You have used \KOMAoptions to set `',
but KOMA-Script does not know any option named `'.
See the KOMA-Script manual for more informations about options and
their values.
The solution is to edit the Latex preamble (Menu Document->Parameters
then Latex preamble) so that the first option reads "fromalign=center%"
without the preceding comma.
I understand from Uwe that the new templates for Koma-script letter2 no
longer have this preceding comma. May be you still have an old template
with a new version of Koma-script.

Well, it's bad form to reply to one's own messages, but here are further
information:
I can get the letter sample to compile if I change the language from French to
English in the Document settings. I suppose that's because LyX changes some
parameter in the LaTeX preamble it produces that would otherwise conflict with
other KomaScript settings. Is my interpretation correct? If so, what should I
do if I want to produce letter-templates for other languages in addition to
English?
Thanks,

I updated the Lyx KomaScript Letter2 files recently (2008-10-27) to make
them compatible with other languages and newer versions of KomaScript.
But, of course, you need to set your language in the preamble.
Which Lyx version and which KomaScript version are you using?

Re: Koma Script Letter (v.2) Lyx Example does not compile

Hi Jean-Marie,
thanks for your extremely prompt reply. I am using Lyx 1.6.0 with the version
of KomaScript that came with the installation of Kubuntu 8.10. I am not sure
which version it is. The class file:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 87668 2008-07-04 03:24 scrlttr2.cls
seems recent, but there are no version information within the file itself.
The problem I am encountering is rather peculiar: with the document language
set to French (in the LyX settings), LaTeX does not compile the letter. If I
change the setting to English, French, or German (the other languages I am
interested in), everything seems to work fine. My rather limited knowledge of
LaTex and almost complete ignorance of the scrlttr2 class is preventing me
from identifying the source of the error.
I can live with this, as my main languages are English and Italian, but I
would like to understand what's going on.
Cheers,
Stefano
Hi Stefano,
I don't quite understand what's going on either: it obviously does
compile for me in French. If I change the document language to American,
it still compiles. In this case, I get Invoice no. instead of Numéro
de facture for the ksl2pro example. If I change the document language
to German, I get Rechnungsnummer which is OK.
I looked at the Latex code produced in my french version around the line
that produces an error on your installation:

Re: kslt2pro.lyx letter template undefined control sequence after changing language setting
Graham Smith a écrit :
I am trying to use this template from the Lyx wiki which defaults to
French when I open it. But it compiles without any trouble.
Changing the language settings from French to British (and
reconfiguring) gives me three undefined control sequence errors when I
try to compile.
If I don't load the lco file, it compiles OK but obviously with aspect
missing.
If I comment out lines in the lco file, it seems that two of the
undefined control sequences are linked to the firsthead code, and one of
the undefined control sequences is associated with the firstfoot coding.
I can't see where the errors might be and wondered if anyone had gone
through the same language conversion issues. Jean-Marie has been helping
me with some other issues but I am hoping someone has gone through this
specific French to British problem.
I found two control sequences which seem to be french specific in the
NFpro.lco options file. You should replace at line 53 \no by n° and
at line 74 \nombre{1234,56} by 1234,56.
I don't know why three errors were reported as it compiles now OK in
