How about LHS, Ctrl-Enter, =, RHS?

Or LHS, = , Ctrl-Enter, RHS?

Just play with it to find out. (Or cut and past the stuff in the correct
boxes.)

  Thanks to Herbert's patience I now understand how the \Big and its
relatives work: the text _is_ shown in the LyX math mode box in ERT-red (not
to be confused with British racing green), but ... it displays properly in
the dvi output! It was this latter part that I missed.
  Another valuable lesson learned.
Thanks all!

Angus,
  This works for me, too. The difference from before? I didn't use the math
panel to insert large braces and brackets. Why that makes a difference I've
no idea. But, each prior time I tried to use a large brace and a large
bracket from the panel and I'd either get an undesired closing bracket or
the ctrl-enter didn't work.
  I can reporduce this behavior at will. That's what I was doing the past
few hours. :-)
  Well, I'm now going to try Herbert's \Bigg\{ and see if I can get that to
place a large brace rather than Bigg{}.
  Thanks, all! On to the next problem.

Ok. My bad.

I just did the obvious:
Menu->New document
Menu->insert multiline environment
type the first line
hit cntl-enter (little blue box appears on the next line)
type second line
Menu->View DVI

You've got Goosens et al.'s "The Latex Companion", no? See pp235-239 
"Alignment structures for equations". Is multiline what you want? Assuming 
that it is, I just input the equation at the top of p.247. came out a

Angus,
  I really dislike appearing so dense, but I just cannot get this working as
it should. I've started over at least a half-dozen times without success.
Let me try explaining exactly what I've done so you can point out where I
erred:
  Use menu: Insert->Math->AMS Multiline Environment (and, yes, I have the
AMS package in the preamble). This gives me a single math box.
  Enter \mu_sum = then select a { from math panel/delimiters (keep matched
check box is unchecked) and press "Insert". As soon as I enter something I
get a large ] on the right side. Why? I did not select a square bracket and
I requested no match for the opening curly brace.
  Then I try entering a bit more of the equation and I press ctrl-enter.
This moves what I've entered down and leaves the cursor after the =, in
front of what I just entered.
  Attached is a pdf of the one page with the equation that's overfull and
needs to be split.
Many thanks,
Rich

Go into the rightmost of the three boxes and press ctrl-enter again.

Günter,
  I'm using LyX-1.3.4-qt on Slackware-10.0.
Well, you probabely have to create a new multiline equation inset and
copy the stuff there.
  When I enter part of the equation and press ctrl-enter the cursor moves to
the right of the = that begins the RHS of the equation.
  I suspect that I need to envoke multiline before entering any of the
equation, is this correct?

Strange. It works here (LyX-Qt 1.2.4 on Debian Gnu/Linux).

Well, you probabely have to create a new multiline equation inset and
copy the stuff there.

Günter,

Probabely you will have to move stuff around in the 2x3 boxes you get to
adjust the alignment...
  I also tried using the // shown in TLC2, but that produced a regular slash
followed by one in red at a different angle. I'll work on this again.

Equation Too Long for Text Width

[Rich Shepard]

  I have an equation that's rather long and the lengthy exponent on the end
sticks into the right margin. According to TCL2, Section 8.2.3 (page 471), I
can use the multiline environment to put a single equation on several lines:
no alignment. Right now the environment is display mode.
  I put the cursor within the mathmode box and selected Edit->Math->Change
formula type->Multiline environment. But, when I saved the document, then
pressed ctrl-d to view the typeset page, I got two errors.
  What's the trick to converting display mode to multiline mode in LyX?
Thanks,
Rich
