If they are in the .bbl file then your problem is an old bibtex stylefile
(.bst). If they are in the .tex file then your document itself or one of
the used packages must have these commands defined.


Herbert,

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I've got my work cut out for me as
pdflatex fails with an error:
! LaTeX Error: Command \chead already defined.
   Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H   for immediate help.

?

I'll look in my copy of 'The LaTeX Companion, 2nd Ed.' and see if I can find
that error.

Regards,

Rich

Herbert,

Yes, this document was started a long time ago.


enabledeprecatedfontcommands
you can allow KOMAScript to use these old commands. However, changing
it to the correct LaTeX commands would make sense: \sc  -> \scshape


Do I make those changes in the .lyx file? Newer documents use the current
font specifiers and allow me to set biblatex as the processor. I do not find
where to make these changes as they're not in the Document -> Settings ->
Bibliography dialog box or in Settings -> Preamble.

Where do I update older documents to match the newer ones?

Regards,

Rich

Rich,

you are using the for long time deprecated font commands like \sc.
I suppose that they are part of your created bbl file and therefore defined
in the style file of bibtex.

Hower, withe documentclass option:

enabledeprecatedfontcommands

you can allow KOMAScript to use these old commands. However, changing
it to the correct LaTeX commands would make sense: \sc  -> \scshape

Recent documents using the report classe haven't had these issues.

I need a pointer to find where I start looking for the reasons of these
issues.

TIA,

Rich
