Hi Louis,
There are discussions in the archives about this. Two schools of
thought, but mine is to completely handcraft the front pages of a
book whether using the Memoir class or the book class (never used Koma).
I'm attaching a template that I have worked on. It's not perfect, but
the intention is that you replace a few variables in the front (like
surname, etc) and it should build you a fairly nice frontmatter.
The adjustable \newcommands are all at the top. (you
will need to cut the \documentclass definition from the top for use with
LyX.
As I say, it isn't completely finished, so you will want to check
carefully if you decide to use it.
Again, there are two schools of though on this, and I haven't used a
pure LyX approach to building the frontmatter in any recent version
of LyX, so things might have improved.

It's not perfect, but the intention is that you replace a few variables in the front (like surname, etc) and it should build you a fairly nice frontmatter. The adjustable \newcommands are all at the top. (you will need to cut the \documentclass definition from the top for use with LyX.

Hi Louis,
There are discussions in the archives about this. Two schools of
thought, but mine is to completely "handcraft" the front pages of a
book whether using the Memoir class or the book class (never used Koma).
I'm attaching a template that I have worked on. It's not perfect, but
the intention is that you replace a few variables in the front (like
surname, etc) and it should build you a fairly nice frontmatter.
The "adjustable" \newcommands are all at the top. (you
will need to cut the \documentclass definition from the top for use with
LyX.
As I say, it isn't completely finished, so you will want to check
carefully if you decide to use it.
Again, there are two schools of though on this, and I haven't used a
"pure" LyX approach to building the frontmatter in any recent version
of LyX, so things might have improved.
Cheers,
Alan
