inserting external material: lilypond
Hi, I see that LyX 1.4.4 includes Lilypond music in Preferences-File Formats. And, I see that it accommodates Lilypond music in Insert-External Material as a filetype. But I must be missing a converter because I cannot get it to display a lilypond file in the DVI or a PDF viewer. (I get an error.) There is no converter listed for converting .ly files to either .ps, .eps, or .pdf. IS this what's missing? I've tried inserting the .ly as well as .ps and .pdf files -- it seems to want the native .ly files. But all result in failure. I have Lilypond 2.10.14-1 installed and it works fine. Does someone here know what I'm missing? thanks much, jamie faunt

tex4ht and LaTeX music applications?
Hi Jens, I just wanted to thank you for all the text4ht into and your own very helpful page on same. These resources are going to be very helpful as I continue to learn about TeX, LaTeX, XML and such. Being an author of music instruction materials as well, my primary use and interest in LyX/TeX is not as a mathematician or scientist. I love the way LyX let's me concentrate on the content, and avails me of a wide-range of symbols as I need them. Unlike many authors of music materials, my need for music notation is less critical because the type of things I teach (mainly to professional and other aspiring musicians). For rhythmic and also standard notation however, I do have occasional needs. I would really prefer to use typography rather than bitmaps. So I was wondering if you or any other reader on this list knew of any music notation packages that use or export to LaTeX so that I might be able to use these in conjunction with my LyX docs. thanks much, Jamie Faunt http://musicalskills.com

Also, it seems that I have to have X11 running to use the DVI. So do I need to start X11 before running the DVI viewer? And which? And should I remove the other X11? I wouldn't worry about it.

For that, I would suggest doing a fink install tex4ht (I don't think you can get tth from fink, but tex4ht is extremely good in my opinion; there's also hevea). You may have to run Reconfigure in LyX after the installation. I guess I assumed that I got a new html export when I upgraded to 1.4.3 in slackware.

I had trouble with tex4ht -- I guess because it's converting from DVI and I couldn't figure out the command line. I may re-investigate this later. So I went to TTH's website and downloaded the latest source. http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth Then I installed all the Xcode stuff from OSX, and the OSX gcc. Then tth compilied quite simply.

And here one more stupid question from a long-time LyX user: what's a "wiki"? <:-O I've seen it and probably should know what it is. Is it an acronym? thanks very much, jamie faunt
long-time LyX user needs install help on Mac OSX 10.4.8
Hi, I've been using LyX quite successfully for a few years in slackware linux. But now I need to get it running on a Mac as well. LyX installs fine and runs fine on the mac including the basic program functions, classes, styles, etc. But I'm having a problem with the DVI and postscript viewers. Previous to installing LyX I installed ghostscript, imagemagic, DVI and TeX via fink. I tried it via i-install but it couldn't complete the installations so I uninstalled everything and tried again with fink. I also previously tried MacTeX and it also couldn't complete the install. I also re-installed LyX 1.4.3 for intel after succeeding with fink. The classes seem fine now that I've fixed the path and such. But now the three types of PDF viewers insist on bringing up QuickTime even though I've de-configured quicktime to view PDF files. argh! I've checked the file conversions and path and have taken out anything that pre-empts the /sw (/sw/bin:/sw/sbin mainly) sub-dirs where fink installs everything. I can't see anything wrong even though I've re-configured and checked all that. The Postscript viewer brings up Preview -- which is okay. But I mainly need the DVI viewer like I have in linux and the ability to create good pdf files. I can't do either at this point on the mac. Does someone know what might be wrong and recommend a fix, or the most optimal way for me to install everything on the intel Mac with OSX 10.4.8? thanks much, jamie faunt

first page footer instead of page number
Hi, I'm trying to get fancy footers and NO fancy headers on the first page in an article class without losing the fancy headers and footers I have on subsequent pages. It's driving me crazy. I want to replace the page number '1' on the first page footer with a fancy footer (the same one as on subsequent pages) WITHOUT adding a fancy header to the first page. I'm trying to re-work my preamble to do this and am failing. Can't find the documentation that answers this. Help? A help document name would be great if it contains the answer. thanks,jamie faunt
Re: first page footer instead of page number
Hi Paul, thanks for the reply. I managed to get the footers I want on both
pages (2-page doc). I want to keep the header I have on page 2 but get rid
of it on page 1. And that's what I can't seem to do.
Maybe your suggestion would work if I went back to page number and no
header on page 1 and added the footer with ERT on page 1. I'm not sure if
it would replace the page number though. I'll try it.

I'm not sure I exactly understand what you want to do, but I'll try and add
something constructive.
Have you tried to include an ERT of \cfoot{Whatever you want on page 1} on
the first page, then on the second page another ERT of \cfoot{\thepage} ?
Obviously this would require you to include a pagebreak between the two ERT's
so that they appear as expected...but I think it may be a workaround to your
problem.
Someone with more knowledge than me may be able to offer you a better
solution...but just something to think about.

Yes, I think that what you need to do is simply make sure that your second
line in the layout file declares what latex class the layout is based on.
In the example below, 'article' is the class and 'clawar' is the name of
the layout.
Then run reconfigure, now it should look for the class you want.

Re: delete backspace keys stop working on upgrade
I solved this by downgrading to 1.2.3 from 1.3.0-7. The problem was probably using RPMs instead of compiling from tarballs -- which were unavilable for 1.3.0-7 or 4. jamie faunt
Getting formatting just right
I'm using 1.2.3 and I have \cfoot and \chead and \date { } in my preamble
to get the formatting with fancy style just how I want it for a certain
kind of doc I frequently use. Well, almost.
At this point writing a style definition is over my head. But I was
wondering if the following things could be just a few more preamble lines
to suit my needs.
1) Why doesn't format-doc-fonts work? I set to helvitica and it stays with
Times. But helv is not lacking on my system and format character works. Is
this broken? ... not implemented yet? For a certain type of doc I want all
helv as default.
2) Is there a way to get my same footer and header on page 1 as all the
other pages? The '1' pagenumber on the first page is useless. I want
the same header and footer on the first page for this certain type of doc.
3) I need to have the part, section, subsection and subsubsection styles
centered. Can I do this? I can find a style that will do this that is
otherwise like article or articleAMS.
4) Is it possible to have 2 headers in the same doc? I want the centered
one that I use plus left and right title/pagenumber combinations. They
don't have to be on the same line as the centered header.
thanks much,

1.2.0pre5 install problems
Hi, I have been using 1.1.6fix3 successfully and had compiled from source. I'm having problems doing the same on 1.2.0pre5. LyX will open and have one menu category -- file, and then adds edit and document when I open a file. Whether opening an old or creating a new file when ever I try to type anything other than a carriage return it won't accept entry. The status line reads unknown function. I've been following all the documentation carefully. I have xforms-0.89, libxpm, etc. nothing has changed with tetex, latex installations. I did up grade to xfree86-4.2.0 but the previous LyX still worked. (linux - slackware - 8.1 beta -- everything seems quite stable as usual) The configure and make steps say it was successful. I can't find anything in config.log or in any of the docs that seems to pertain. Though surely I'm missing SOMETHING. The make install goes with no errors also. But then these apparently truncated menus and no acceptance of input. What I'm missing must just be so big and obvious it's ready to bite me. But damn if I can find it! Anyone got a clue of what these symptoms might mean? thanks much, jamie faunt

Okay, I see.
But now how do I get a \cfoot in there since now the added tex line

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
I would figure not needed if defined in doc-pagestyle?
\fancypagestyle{plain}{%
\fancyhf{}
\fancyfoot[C]{\bfseries my lovely footer}
\renewcommand\headrulewidth{0pt}
\renewcommand\footrulewidth{3pt}

So I gather that the default footrulewidth for fancy is 0pt and this would
add the footruler. That's cool.
I've tried this now, and also re-read the fancy header section of extended
features. Your example works for me as long as there's a title. But if
there isn't a title, I see that the regular headers and footers start on
the first page. And \cfoot will replace the default page number after the
first page with a title, or from the first page without. OKay.

title environment defeating pagestyle
I went round and round initially trying to figure out why I couldn't get
rid of a page number 1 on a one-page document.
I tried pagestyle empty and it didn't work as I known it to work before.
I tried pagestyle fancy with \cfoot{ } or \cfoot{something else} in the
preamble. And neither would get rid of that pesky page number! Also the
header in fancy pagestyle was not working either as I've known it to work
before.
So to troubleshoot it I started taking out elements of the document. And
the title environment being REMOVED from the doc is what enabled all of
the pagestyles to work as expected again!
Incidentally, this was only the case with the first page when the doc had
more than one page. The headers and footers worked as expected from page 2
onward. It doesn't make sense to have a default page number on the first
page only whether or not I have page numbers on subsequent pages. No way I
tried including any of the above enabled me to work it the way I wanted it
on the first page whether the doc was one or more pages IF title was
present.
Am I missing something here? Or has anyone else had this problem? I
couldn't find anything in BUGS or any of the docs about this.

Okay example attached.
It \thispagestyle{empty} in ERT as first line in a file does get rid of
header and footer UNTIL a title environment is used. When title is used,
it is defeated and page number returns. And so is the ability to use
\cfoot to use another footer defeated with the use of
\thispagestyle{empty}. -- which I'd like to do.
The only work-around I can figure so far is to not use title, and to use
pagestyle empty.

if \thispagestyle{empty} in tex(red) as very first command in
your text (not preamble) doesn't work, send an example file.

ah, I see. For the title page put the command \thispagestyle{empty}
in front of your first textline.
Ah-ha! Now that makes a difference -- even if it's ugly. I didn't get that
it was in front of the first standard text line instead of the first line
of the file.
But now how do I get a \cfoot in there since now the added tex line
defeats that?
