RE: Musixflx pass with musixtex?

[Piero Faustini]

Thanks for help.

I didn't try because I've a new problem:
since I use BibLatex, I couldn't have both Biblatex and musixflx work (I just 
tried without biblatex before): something doesn't work, perhaps because both 
systems require a 3-pass system. I'll try to give some details when I'll try 
all in a controlled environment.
thanks
Piero

 Hello, I'm a happy  Lyx  user.
 Unfortunately, I'm using the musixtex package (v. T112) which would need the
 musixflx 3-pass system to produce a perfect layout in my document (a
 doctoral dissertation in musicology).
 But when I installedmusixtex there was no binary of musixflx in the
 installation files. I downloaded it manually but I don't know how to tell 
 Lyx to use it when compiling DVI or PDF.

 I think it's a simple thing, because, following the Musixtex docs, I already
 could have it work manually by:
 1- export to a .tex file
 2- making a 3-pass system (executing Latex  - musixflx - latex)
 but you can imagine how lazy I can get when it comes to check the final
 layout of my document every time I need it!!!

 Please help, I know it's very simple.

   
 I don't know about very simple, but it can be done. Probably you should 
 write some sort of little batch file that will do the 3-pass business. 
 This file should take two arguments: The input filename and the output 
 filename. Let's say that it lives at c:\myfile.bat. Now define a new 
 format (dvim, say) in PreferencesFormats. Just modify the DVI format 
 and then hit Add. (This dialog is confusing.) Now, go to Converters 
 and define one that converts LaTeX to your new format (dvim). You can 
 just modify the Latex--DVI format here. The converter will be:
 c:\myfile.bat $$i $$o
 That should work. You can do much the same sort of thing for pdf.

default AMS align

[Ivan Werning]

I use LyX 1.5.6 on OS X 10.5.4.

When I create a displayed equation and want to have another aligned  
one beneath, my understanding is that I should hit CMD-Enter. I would  
like to get an AMS align environment, instead of the outdated Latex  
eqnarray.


Is there a way to do this? Is my only option to do some customization  
with the keybindings? 

bibtex/bibdesk - small letters in articles, capitol letters in book - problem

[Benjamin Hentschel]

Hello,

I have a problem concerning the implementation of my bibdesk database  
(Im working with a mac, bibdesk 1.3.18 and lyx 1.5.5).


I have a lot of entries in my database and the implementation into lyx  
works perfect with one minor point that concerns me. When I declare an  
entry in BibDesk as an article, the output in the actual lyx-file,  
e.g. pdf-file, changes all words into small letters. For instance the  
title of an entry which I entered as
Shukko (employee transfers) and tacit knowledge exchange in Japanese  
supply networks: the electronics industry case appears as

Shukko (employee transfers) and tacit
knowledge exchange in japanese supply networks: the electronics  
industry case.


Needless to say that I want it to be Japanese supply networks  
instead of japanese supply networks. The same happens with names,  
which should definitely be written with a capitol letter at the  
beginning.


I also recognized that when I declare it as a book in Bibdesk/Bibtex,  
every word starts with a capitol letter.


My question now is, can I manipulate the output somehow so that it  
appears the way it should?



Thanks in advance,

ben

Abstract and some formats

[Matthias Coy]

Hi there,

It seems to be very difficult to use any kind of formatation (like a 
heading or a item-list) inside a Abstract (KOMA-report). The item-list 
only works if one indents it, but I didn't had any success in creating 
headings for a better look.


Regards
Matthias

Yes because an abtract is gemerally not designed to have items and headings. It normally only 
contains plain text. The text layout is defined by the document class you are using.

In Bibdesk, write: ... in {Japanese} supply networks ...
(i.e. put abbrebiations, etc., of which you want the capitalisation to 
be preserved, in curly braces).


I also recognized that when I declare it as a book in Bibdesk/Bibtex, 
every word starts with a capitol letter.


This is defined by the bibliography style you select in LyX. In some 
(many?) styles it is supposed to be like this, that article-titles are 
in lower-case, and book-titles in upper-case, and bibtex takes care of 
that automatically (which is very useful).




My question now is, can I manipulate the output somehow so that it 
appears the way it should?


So in Bibdesk, only put 'special' words into curly braces, in LyX, 
choose a bibliography-style that fits your need, and lean back and let 
bibtex take care of the rest. :)

Well, you can certainly nest minisecs, even sections (even though this looks

fancy table and figure layouts

I was wondering,

is there some way to declare the layout of all tables and figures to

If yes, what kind of package could achieve this? I already did some

modify the bibliographic entry and place curly brackets around the

this method works with other bibtex managers).

First, you posted this to the documentation development list, not to the

want to join that list, too, and maybe get off the documentation list.


The LyX Tutorial, which you can find under HelpTutorial, will answer 
this question and many more. (Maybe you should read HelpIntroduction 
first.) After you've read the tutorial, you might want to have a look at 
HelpUser's Guide.


That said, do this:
1. Open LyX.
2. FileNew
3. Type This is my first LyX document.
4. ViewPDF (pdflatex)
This should compile the document and show you the pdf. If you want to 
see the LaTeX that LyX produced, then:

5. ViewView Source
6. Check the Complete source button.
And if you want a copy of the pdf:
7. FileSave (and choose a place to save it)
7. FileExportPDF (pdflatex)
That'll dump a copy of the PDF in the same directory as where you saved 
the file.

But I'm still hoping for a way to re-wire the CMD-enter to give me an

Woops! It's actually a Linux man page - tree.1.gz

I'm need a way to typeset it for printing out.

I copied and pasted the screen text to a text file and printed that. 
The line length has messed up the output though.


If you just need a nice printed version of the man page:

man -t manpage

dumps a man page in nicely formattted postscript to stdout. You can 
pipe this directly into lpr, gv, pstopdf or whatever.

Thanks for that Daniel :)

I actually made a PDF conversion by doing:

man -t manpage  manpage.ps

ps2pdf manpage.ps

I was then able to view the pdf file with KPDF. I also 
managed to print the pages out on both sides of the paper. 
Printing directly to lpr only worked for printing on one 
side of the paper.


The only problem is that the page numbers are not being 
printed out on each page. But they are printed if I print 
from a PDF generated by LyX.


Any suggestions please?

LyX version 1.6.0 (release candidate 5) is released

[José Matos]

Public release of LyX version 1.6.0 (release candidate 5)
=

We are pleased to announce the fifth release candidate of LyX 1.6.0.

LyX 1.6.0 will be the culmination of 15 months of hard work since the
release of the LyX 1.5 series. We sincerely hope you will enjoy the
result.

This is the last planned release candidate. In order to guarantee a
stable release of LyX 1.6.0 there are very few changes when compared
with the last release candidate (rc4).
The changes committed refer to bug and performance fixes and there are
no known regressions compared to any of the previous release
candidates.

As usual with a major release, a lot of work that is not directly
visible has taken place. The core of LyX has seen more cleanups and
some of the new features are the direct results of this work.

The new features in LyX 1.6 are detailed in
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX16

The file RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues with this release
compared to the current stable release (LyX 1.5.6). An updated list of
issues might later be found at http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/ReleaseNotes


In case you are wondering what LyX is, here is what
http://www.lyx.org/ has to say on the subject:

   LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing
   based on the structure of your documents, not their appearance. It
   is released under a Free Software / Open Source license.

   LyX is for people that write and want their writing to look great,
   right out of the box. No more endless tinkering with formatting
   details, 'finger painting' font attributes or futzing around with page
   boundaries. You just write. In the background, Prof. Knuth's legendary
   TeX typesetting engine makes you look good.

   On screen, LyX looks like any word processor; its printed output -- or
   richly cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced -- looks like
   nothing else. Gone are the days of industrially bland .docs, all
   looking similarly not-quite-right, yet coming out unpredictably
   different on different printer drivers. Gone are the crashes 'eating'
   your dissertation the evening before going to press.

   LyX is stable and fully featured. It is a multi-platform, fully
   internationalized application running natively on Unix/Linux and the
   Macintosh and modern Windows platforms.

You can download LyX 1.6.0rc5 here (the .bz2 are compressed with bzip2,
which yields smaller files):

ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-1.6.0rc5.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-1.6.0rc5.tar.bz2

Note that due to the amount of change, no patch is provided to upgrade
from version 1.5.6.

Prebuilt binaries (rpms for linux distributions, Mac OS X and Windows
installers) should soon be available at
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/

If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.6.0rc5, you may either
e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org), or open
a bug report at http://bugzilla.lyx.org

If you're having trouble using the new version of LyX, or have a question,
first check out http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/. If you can't find the answer there,
e-mail the LyX users' list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org).

Enjoy!

The LyX team.

possible bug in text wrap float

[James Sutherland]

I have hit a bug in the text wrap float, but am having a hard time  
creating steps to reliably reproduce it.  The problem shows up by LyX  
shoving the following into the LaTeX output:


\floatstyle{}
\newfloat{}{}{}
\floatname{}{}

This seems to be triggered when I have a text wrap float with  
subfigures in it.  It also seems to be tied to using a master/parent  
document when the text wrap float is in the child document.


If I edit the LaTeX file and remove these three commands, then things  
seem to work fine.  The problem is that my LyX file is broken.  The  
only way to fix it seems to be to switch back to regular floats.


One other thing: after the file breaks I cannot insert new text wrap  
floats.  When I insert one, I get the Senseless!!! caption.

Yes, you could run lyx2lyx on your file and specify the output fileformat. But why do you want to go 
back?



Does anyone know if rc5 is compatible with rc4?


Every new LyX version can read files from older versions. Between RC4 and RC% no fileformat change 
happened. When LyX1.6.0 is finally released, the fileformat will be stable for all releases of LyX 
1.6.x.

Yes, you could run lyx2lyx on your file and specify the output  
fileformat. But why do you want to go back?



Testing.




Does anyone know if rc5 is compatible with rc4?


Every new LyX version can read files from older versions. Between  
RC4 and RC% no fileformat change happened. When LyX1.6.0 is finally  
released, the fileformat will be stable for all releases of LyX 1.6.x.


Then why can I not open a RC4 file in RC3?  I get lyx2lyx converter  
errors.
The same thing happens if I open a new file in RC3 now that I have RC4  
installed.  Apparently the new file template is also not backward  
compatible...

Sorry, this should be:

Between RC4 and RC5 no fileformat change happened.

When LyX1.6.0 is finally 
released, the fileformat will be stable for all releases of LyX 1.6.x.


Then why can I not open a RC4 file in RC3?  I get lyx2lyx converter 
errors.


You get this as the fileformats are different. RC4 can read files created with RC3, but not the 
opposite way. But you can open the file with RC4, export it there to the format of LyX 1.5.x and 
then open the result with RC3.


The same thing happens if I open a new file in RC3 now that I have RC4 
installed.


Then it seems that your LyX installations interfere. RC3 contained unfortunately too many bugs for 
an RC and also datalosses and new regressions, so I would recommend to uninstall RC3 and RC4 and 
install RC5 that was released today.

Feature query

[Cameron Stone]

I'm using lyx 1.5.6. I like it very much. LyX is a fantastic document
generator.

After just inserting some algorithm floats and foolishly trying to add
cross-references to them, I finally noticed in the Embedded Objects help
file that to do that I needed to add some weird latex magic to the
preamble. I've done this now and my latex errors have gone away, and I'm
happy again.

Is this preamble stuff still required for lyx 1.6? I can't find anything
mentioned in the features list. I'm asking because it seems unfortunate
that such important features as algorithm floats and cross-references
don't play well together.

Cameron.

In lyx 1.60 rc4 ,In the Menu-Document setting- PDF properties ,
You could enable use hyper ref support, which can natively do the job 
you mentioned weird latex magic in 1.5.6.


But I'm not sure this functionality support other then PDF output.

Re: How I can get the bibliography into each section?

Hello,

I just finished to write my Ph.D. thesis with Lyx 1.5.5. I have all the chapters in 
separate files and one file for the bibliography, the same for all chapters. I'm using 
Bibtex and I have placed the bibliography inside each chapter. What I want is just to put 
the bibliography after each chapter using vancouver style and sorted 
according to how the items appers within each chapter. I became silly trying to do it 
using bibunits without success. The point is if I complie each chapter separatelly, Lyx 
does everything ok. However, if I build a master file including all the chapters, in the 
final document the bibliography of each chapter appears all the citations of the 
document, instead the cited in each section.  Anybody can illuminate me? I'm desperate!

Specificlly I define the class of document and layout for the master document. 
Then:

Include: Frontcover1.lyx
Include: Frontcover2.lyx
Insert: General index
Include: Introduction.lyx
Include: Chapter1.lyx
Inlude: Chapter2.lyx
...

In each document the box Sectioned bibliography is unchecked, and also in the master document. If I check it on the master document, Lyx gives an error. Indeed, all chapters have the same preamble. 


Thank you!


  
Hi, have you figure it out? I also want to use bibliography for each

RE: Musixflx pass with musixtex?

[Piero Faustini]

Thanks for help.

I didn't try because I've a new problem:
since I use BibLatex, I couldn't have both Biblatex and musixflx work (I just 
tried without biblatex before): something doesn't work, perhaps because both 
systems require a 3-pass system. I'll try to give some details when I'll try 
all in a controlled environment.

 Hello, I'm a happy  Lyx  user.
 Unfortunately, I'm using the musixtex package (v. T112) which would need the

 But when I installedmusixtex there was no binary of musixflx in the
 installation files. I downloaded it manually but I don't know how to tell 
 Lyx to use it when compiling DVI or PDF.

 I think it's a simple thing, because, following the Musixtex docs, I already
 could have it work manually by:
 1- export to a .tex file
 2- making a 3-pass system (executing Latex  - musixflx - latex)
 but you can imagine how lazy I can get when it comes to check the final
 layout of my document every time I need it!!!

 Please help, I know it's very simple.

   
 I don't know about very simple, but it can be done. Probably you should 
 write some sort of little batch file that will do the 3-pass business. 
 This file should take two arguments: The input filename and the output 
 filename. Let's say that it lives at c:\myfile.bat. Now define a new 
 format (dvim, say) in PreferencesFormats. Just modify the DVI format 
 and then hit Add. (This dialog is confusing.) Now, go to Converters 
 and define one that converts LaTeX to your new format (dvim). You can 
 just modify the Latex--DVI format here. The converter will be:
 c:\myfile.bat $$i $$o
 That should work. You can do much the same sort of thing for pdf.

default AMS align

I use LyX 1.5.6 on OS X 10.5.4.

When I create a displayed equation and want to have another aligned

bibtex/bibdesk - small letters in articles, capitol letters in book - problem

[Benjamin Hentschel]

Hello,

I have a problem concerning the implementation of my bibdesk database  
(Im working with a mac, bibdesk 1.3.18 and lyx 1.5.5).


I have a lot of entries in my database and the implementation into lyx  
works perfect with one minor point that concerns me. When I declare an  
entry in BibDesk as an article, the output in the actual lyx-file,  
e.g. pdf-file, changes all words into small letters. For instance the  
title of an entry which I entered as
Shukko (employee transfers) and tacit knowledge exchange in Japanese  
supply networks: the electronics industry case appears as

Shukko (employee transfers) and tacit
knowledge exchange in japanese supply networks: the electronics  
industry case.


Needless to say that I want it to be Japanese supply networks  
instead of japanese supply networks. The same happens with names,  
which should definitely be written with a capitol letter at the  
beginning.


I also recognized that when I declare it as a book in Bibdesk/Bibtex,  
every word starts with a capitol letter.


My question now is, can I manipulate the output somehow so that it  
appears the way it should?



Thanks in advance,

ben

Abstract and some formats

[Matthias Coy]

Hi there,

It seems to be very difficult to use any kind of formatation (like a 
heading or a item-list) inside a Abstract (KOMA-report). The item-list 
only works if one indents it, but I didn't had any success in creating 
headings for a better look.

Yes because an abtract is gemerally not designed to have items and headings. It normally only 
contains plain text. The text layout is defined by the document class you are using.

In Bibdesk, write: ... in {Japanese} supply networks ...
(i.e. put abbrebiations, etc., of which you want the capitalisation to 
be preserved, in curly braces).


I also recognized that when I declare it as a book in Bibdesk/Bibtex, 
every word starts with a capitol letter.


This is defined by the bibliography style you select in LyX. In some 
(many?) styles it is supposed to be like this, that article-titles are 
in lower-case, and book-titles in upper-case, and bibtex takes care of 
that automatically (which is very useful).




My question now is, can I manipulate the output somehow so that it 
appears the way it should?


So in Bibdesk, only put 'special' words into curly braces, in LyX, 
choose a bibliography-style that fits your need, and lean back and let 
bibtex take care of the rest. :)

Well, you can certainly nest minisecs, even sections (even though this looks

First, you posted this to the documentation development list, not to the

want to join that list, too, and maybe get off the documentation list.


The LyX Tutorial, which you can find under HelpTutorial, will answer 
this question and many more. (Maybe you should read HelpIntroduction 
first.) After you've read the tutorial, you might want to have a look at 
HelpUser's Guide.


That said, do this:
1. Open LyX.
2. FileNew
3. Type This is my first LyX document.
4. ViewPDF (pdflatex)
This should compile the document and show you the pdf. If you want to 
see the LaTeX that LyX produced, then:

5. ViewView Source
6. Check the Complete source button.
And if you want a copy of the pdf:
7. FileSave (and choose a place to save it)
7. FileExportPDF (pdflatex)
That'll dump a copy of the PDF in the same directory as where you saved

Woops! It's actually a Linux man page - tree.1.gz

I copied and pasted the screen text to a text file and printed that. 
The line length has messed up the output though.


If you just need a nice printed version of the man page:

I was then able to view the pdf file with KPDF. I also

Printing directly to lpr only worked for printing on one

The only problem is that the page numbers are not being

LyX version 1.6.0 (release candidate 5) is released

[José Matos]

Public release of LyX version 1.6.0 (release candidate 5)
=

We are pleased to announce the fifth release candidate of LyX 1.6.0.

LyX 1.6.0 will be the culmination of 15 months of hard work since the
release of the LyX 1.5 series. We sincerely hope you will enjoy the
result.

This is the last planned release candidate. In order to guarantee a
stable release of LyX 1.6.0 there are very few changes when compared
with the last release candidate (rc4).
The changes committed refer to bug and performance fixes and there are
no known regressions compared to any of the previous release
candidates.

As usual with a major release, a lot of work that is not directly
visible has taken place. The core of LyX has seen more cleanups and
some of the new features are the direct results of this work.

The new features in LyX 1.6 are detailed in
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX16

The file RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues with this release
compared to the current stable release (LyX 1.5.6). An updated list of
issues might later be found at http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/ReleaseNotes


In case you are wondering what LyX is, here is what
http://www.lyx.org/ has to say on the subject:

   LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing
   based on the structure of your documents, not their appearance. It
   is released under a Free Software / Open Source license.

   LyX is for people that write and want their writing to look great,
   right out of the box. No more endless tinkering with formatting
   details, 'finger painting' font attributes or futzing around with page
   boundaries. You just write. In the background, Prof. Knuth's legendary
   TeX typesetting engine makes you look good.

   On screen, LyX looks like any word processor; its printed output -- or
   richly cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced -- looks like
   nothing else. Gone are the days of industrially bland .docs, all
   looking similarly not-quite-right, yet coming out unpredictably
   different on different printer drivers. Gone are the crashes 'eating'
   your dissertation the evening before going to press.

   LyX is stable and fully featured. It is a multi-platform, fully
   internationalized application running natively on Unix/Linux and the
   Macintosh and modern Windows platforms.

You can download LyX 1.6.0rc5 here (the .bz2 are compressed with bzip2,
which yields smaller files):

ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-1.6.0rc5.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-1.6.0rc5.tar.bz2

Note that due to the amount of change, no patch is provided to upgrade
from version 1.5.6.

Prebuilt binaries (rpms for linux distributions, Mac OS X and Windows
installers) should soon be available at
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/

If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.6.0rc5, you may either
e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org), or open
a bug report at http://bugzilla.lyx.org

If you're having trouble using the new version of LyX, or have a question,
first check out http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/. If you can't find the answer there,
e-mail the LyX users' list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org).

Enjoy!

The LyX team.

I have hit a bug in the text wrap float, but am having a hard time  
creating steps to reliably reproduce it.  The problem shows up by LyX  
shoving the following into the LaTeX output:


\floatstyle{}
\newfloat{}{}{}
\floatname{}{}

This seems to be triggered when I have a text wrap float with  
subfigures in it.  It also seems to be tied to using a master/parent  
document when the text wrap float is in the child document.


If I edit the LaTeX file and remove these three commands, then things  
seem to work fine.  The problem is that my LyX file is broken.  The  
only way to fix it seems to be to switch back to regular floats.


One other thing: after the file breaks I cannot insert new text wrap  
floats.  When I insert one, I get the Senseless!!! caption.

[Julio Rojas]

Confirmed in RC4 under Vista, but it only happens if both documents
are open. If I only have the child document open, I can compile it
without a problem, even after the error on the parent document.

 Closing LyX and then relaunching and recompiling the child document works
 again, but compiling the parent sparks the problem again...

 Can anyone reproduce this?

 I am using LyX 1.6rc4 on Mac.

rc4 to rc3 converter?

Apparently the file formats changed from rc3 to rc4, and they are not  
backward compatible.  Is there a way to migrate back to rc3?


Does anyone know if rc5 is compatible with rc4?

Yes, you could run lyx2lyx on your file and specify the output fileformat. But why do you want to go 
back?

Every new LyX version can read files from older versions. Between RC4 and RC% no fileformat change 
happened. When LyX1.6.0 is finally released, the fileformat will be stable for all releases of LyX 
1.6.x.

The same thing happens if I open a new file in RC3 now that I have RC4

Sorry, this should be:

You get this as the fileformats are different. RC4 can read files created with RC3, but not the 
opposite way. But you can open the file with RC4, export it there to the format of LyX 1.5.x and 
then open the result with RC3.


The same thing happens if I open a new file in RC3 now that I have RC4 
installed.


Then it seems that your LyX installations interfere. RC3 contained unfortunately too many bugs for 
an RC and also datalosses and new regressions, so I would recommend to uninstall RC3 and RC4 and 
install RC5 that was released today.

Feature query

[Cameron Stone]

I'm using lyx 1.5.6. I like it very much. LyX is a fantastic document
generator.

After just inserting some algorithm floats and foolishly trying to add
cross-references to them, I finally noticed in the Embedded Objects help
file that to do that I needed to add some weird latex magic to the
preamble. I've done this now and my latex errors have gone away, and I'm
happy again.

Is this preamble stuff still required for lyx 1.6? I can't find anything
mentioned in the features list. I'm asking because it seems unfortunate
that such important features as algorithm floats and cross-references
don't play well together.

In lyx 1.60 rc4 ,In the Menu-Document setting- PDF properties ,
You could enable use hyper ref support, which can natively do the job

final document the bibliography of each chapter appears all the citations of the 
document, instead the cited in each section.  Anybody can illuminate me? I'm desperate!

Specificlly I define the class of document and layout for the master document. 
Then:

Include: Frontcover1.lyx
Include: Frontcover2.lyx
Insert: General index
Include: Introduction.lyx
Include: Chapter1.lyx
Inlude: Chapter2.lyx
...

In each document the box Sectioned bibliography is unchecked, and also in the master document. If I check it on the master document, Lyx gives an error. Indeed, all chapters have the same preamble. 


Thank you!

I didn't try because I've a new problem:

default AMS align

[Ivan Werning]

I use LyX 1.5.6 on OS X 10.5.4.

When I create a displayed equation and want to have another aligned  
one beneath, my understanding is that I should hit CMD-Enter. I would  
like to get an AMS "align" environment, instead of the outdated Latex  
"eqnarray".


Is there a way to do this? Is my only option to do some customization

bibtex/bibdesk - small letters in articles, capitol letters in book - problem

[Benjamin Hentschel]

Hello,

I have a problem concerning the implementation of my bibdesk database  
(Im working with a mac, bibdesk 1.3.18 and lyx 1.5.5).


I have a lot of entries in my database and the implementation into lyx  
works perfect with one minor point that concerns me. When I declare an  
entry in BibDesk as an article, the output in the actual lyx-file,  
e.g. pdf-file, changes all words into small letters. For instance the  
title of an entry which I entered as
"Shukko (employee transfers) and tacit knowledge exchange in Japanese  
supply networks: the electronics industry case" appears as

"Shukko (employee transfers) and tacit
knowledge exchange in japanese supply networks: the electronics  
industry case."


Needless to say that I want it to be "Japanese supply networks"  
instead of "japanese supply networks". The same happens with names,  
which should definitely be written with a capitol letter at the  
beginning.


I also recognized that when I declare it as a book in Bibdesk/Bibtex,  
every word starts with a capitol letter.


My question now is, can I manipulate the output somehow so that it  
appears the way it should?



Thanks in advance,

ben

Abstract and some formats

[Matthias Coy]

Hi there,

It seems to be very difficult to use any kind of formatation (like a 
heading or a item-list) inside a Abstract (KOMA-report). The item-list 
only works if one indents it, but I didn't had any success in creating 
headings for a better "look".

Matthias

Yes because an abtract is gemerally not designed to have items and headings. It normally only 
contains plain text. The text layout is defined by the document class you are using.

In Bibdesk, write: ... in {Japanese} supply networks ...
(i.e. put abbrebiations, etc., of which you want the capitalisation to 
be preserved, in curly braces).


I also recognized that when I declare it as a book in Bibdesk/Bibtex, 
every word starts with a capitol letter.


This is defined by the bibliography style you select in LyX. In some 
(many?) styles it is supposed to be like this, that article-titles are 
in lower-case, and book-titles in upper-case, and bibtex takes care of 
that automatically (which is very useful).




My question now is, can I manipulate the output somehow so that it 
appears the way it should?


So in Bibdesk, only put 'special' words into curly braces, in LyX, 
choose a bibliography-style that fits your need, and lean back and let 
bibtex take care of the rest. :)

Why do you need a heading? Have you tried the KOMA class option "abstracton"?

Yes, this is on. I don't mean the "Abstract" heading, I want to create

Well, you can certainly nest minisecs, even sections (even though this looks 
rather weird). If you need one in the first line, just put an empty ERT one 
line above.

fancy table and figure layouts

is there some way to declare the layout of all tables and figures to

If yes, what kind of package could achieve this? I already did some

modify the bibliographic entry and place curly brackets around the

First, you posted this to the documentation development list, not to the

want to join that list, too, and maybe get off the documentation list.


The LyX Tutorial, which you can find under Help>Tutorial, will answer 
this question and many more. (Maybe you should read Help>Introduction 
first.) After you've read the tutorial, you might want to have a look at 
Help>User's Guide.


That said, do this:
1. Open LyX.
2. File>New
3. Type "This is my first LyX document."
4. View>PDF (pdflatex)
This should compile the document and show you the pdf. If you want to 
see the LaTeX that LyX produced, then:

5. View>View Source
6. Check the "Complete source" button.
And if you want a copy of the pdf:
7. File>Save (and choose a place to save it)
7. File>Export>PDF (pdflatex)
That'll dump a copy of the PDF in the same directory as where you saved 
the file.

But I'm still hoping for a way to re-wire the CMD-enter to give me an

Woops! It's actually a Linux man page - tree.1.gz

I'm need a way to typeset it for printing out.

I copied and pasted the screen text to a text file and printed that. 
The line length has messed up the output though.


If you just need a nice printed version of the man page:

man -t 

dumps a man page in nicely formattted postscript to stdout. You can 
pipe this directly into lpr, gv, pstopdf or whatever.

Thanks for that Daniel :)

I actually made a PDF conversion by doing:

man -t manpage > manpage.ps

ps2pdf manpage.ps

I was then able to view the pdf file with KPDF. I also 
managed to print the pages out on both sides of the paper. 
Printing directly to lpr only worked for printing on one 
side of the paper.


The only problem is that the page numbers are not being 
printed out on each page. But they are printed if I print 
from a PDF generated by LyX.


Any suggestions please?

  I'd use the code environment which leaves the inserted/entered text
literally as you typed it. Use the Insert->File function to include it.

There's no way to do this in LyX (that is, without ERT), but there is a 
LaTeX package---paralist, I think---that provides this sort of facility.

If you're really feeling brave, you can use html2latex to convert the 
document to LaTeX, and then it is easy to include it.

   I'd use the code environment which leaves the

literally as you typed it. Use the Insert->File function
to include it.

LyX version 1.6.0 (release candidate 5) is released

[José Matos]

Public release of LyX version 1.6.0 (release candidate 5)
=

We are pleased to announce the fifth release candidate of LyX 1.6.0.

LyX 1.6.0 will be the culmination of 15 months of hard work since the
release of the LyX 1.5 series. We sincerely hope you will enjoy the
result.

This is the last planned release candidate. In order to guarantee a
stable release of LyX 1.6.0 there are very few changes when compared
with the last release candidate (rc4).
The changes committed refer to bug and performance fixes and there are
no known regressions compared to any of the previous release
candidates.

As usual with a major release, a lot of work that is not directly
visible has taken place. The core of LyX has seen more cleanups and
some of the new features are the direct results of this work.

The new features in LyX 1.6 are detailed in
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX16

The file RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues with this release
compared to the current stable release (LyX 1.5.6). An updated list of
issues might later be found at http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/ReleaseNotes


In case you are wondering what LyX is, here is what
http://www.lyx.org/ has to say on the subject:

   LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing
   based on the structure of your documents, not their appearance. It
   is released under a Free Software / Open Source license.

   LyX is for people that write and want their writing to look great,
   right out of the box. No more endless tinkering with formatting
   details, 'finger painting' font attributes or futzing around with page
   boundaries. You just write. In the background, Prof. Knuth's legendary
   TeX typesetting engine makes you look good.

   On screen, LyX looks like any word processor; its printed output -- or
   richly cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced -- looks like
   nothing else. Gone are the days of industrially bland .docs, all
   looking similarly not-quite-right, yet coming out unpredictably
   different on different printer drivers. Gone are the crashes 'eating'
   your dissertation the evening before going to press.

   LyX is stable and fully featured. It is a multi-platform, fully
   internationalized application running natively on Unix/Linux and the
   Macintosh and modern Windows platforms.

You can download LyX 1.6.0rc5 here (the .bz2 are compressed with bzip2,
which yields smaller files):

ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-1.6.0rc5.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-1.6.0rc5.tar.bz2

Note that due to the amount of change, no patch is provided to upgrade
from version 1.5.6.

Prebuilt binaries (rpms for linux distributions, Mac OS X and Windows
installers) should soon be available at
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/

If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.6.0rc5, you may either
e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org), or open
a bug report at http://bugzilla.lyx.org

If you're having trouble using the new version of LyX, or have a question,
first check out http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/. If you can't find the answer there,
e-mail the LyX users' list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org).

Enjoy!

The LyX team.

possible bug in text wrap float

[James Sutherland]

I have hit a bug in the text wrap float, but am having a hard time  
creating steps to reliably reproduce it.  The problem shows up by LyX  
shoving the following into the LaTeX output:


\floatstyle{}
\newfloat{}{}{}
\floatname{}{}

This seems to be triggered when I have a text wrap float with  
subfigures in it.  It also seems to be tied to using a master/parent  
document when the text wrap float is in the child document.


If I edit the LaTeX file and remove these three commands, then things  
seem to work fine.  The problem is that my LyX file is broken.  The  
only way to fix it seems to be to switch back to regular floats.


One other thing: after the file "breaks" I cannot insert new text wrap  
floats.  When I insert one, I get the "Senseless!!!" caption.

I should mention: this was with 1.6rc4.
