Dear friends of LyX,
having faced quite a number of heavy throwbacks when trying to use older
versions of Miede's classicthesis for linguistic theses I eventually
ended up using using LyX2.3-v4.5 in openSUSE Leap (it is up to now not
yet available in Mageia 6)
It is self-explanatory that the linguistics module must be loaded.
After making some minor adjustments - most important activating some
fonts as per attached screenshot - I am enjoying this version's
extensive support (thanks to Jürgen Spitzmüller) in writing lingiustic
papers. Among other things inserting special characters in glosses by
simply copying them from tables using Insert >Special Character >
Symbols has become fun and on top all text style features available for
normal text are as well available in glosses.
However, there is one last thing that so far I fail to achieve despite
extensive search. I still can enter Insert > Marginal Note in the Lyx
master and all child documents but I see no marginal notes at all in the
PDF output. That is nothing really essential in my case but it might be
well for other people.
Best and thanks,
Michael Berger
