Question about biblio

[Mariano Llamedo Soria]

Hi all, I am preparing my PhD presentation in beamer, and need to use
biblatex in order to make citations appear in the same slide. I am about to
achieve this, with a lot of effort, but now my problem is that Lyx is not
copying my bib file, as done automatically with bibtex, from my custom
folder to the temp path. When using the bibliography inset of Lyx, it
generated the following latex code:

\bibliographystyle{plain}

\bibliography{\stringD:/Mariano/papers/ECG Classification/docs/database de
referencias/refs\string}


And work great, it means copy refs.bib from that folder to the temp path,
and compile and produce pdf ok. But when using biblatex, I dont know how to
do the filename conversion, or how to include refs.bib in the files to
copy list that Lyx automatically do when using the inset.

Sometime when I used the insert - file - external material I remember
that you can define a list of files to copy to the temp path, and then the
conversion script to use, etc. Maybe I can do smth similar with the bib
file.

Thanks for your help,
Mariano.

Conversion to doc via pandoc

[Rainer M Krug]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi

I just discovered pandoc, and I use it to convert to odt format (and then in 
OpenOffice to doc).

The conversion goes LyX - LyXHTML - odt

I defined the following format:

\format odt lo odt Libreoffice writer  libreoffice libreoffice 
document,menu=export

and the following converter:

\converter xhtml odt lo pandoc -o $$o $$i 

The format is very nice to work with, and I had no luck with the normal mk4ht 
way, as it resulted
in a corrupt odt document, while the pandoc route worked nicely. OK - tables 
and pictures need to
be manually adjusted, but the text was exported very nicely.

I tried to go LyX - LaTeX - odt, but the result was not as useful.

Cheers,

Rainer

Regenerating Lilypond files

[John McKay]

I am working on a large project involving hundreds of musical examples typeset 
in Lilypond.  So far, LyX has been great in handling them.

I have run into one issue.  LyX seems to know if a Lilypond file hasn't 
changed since the last output PDF was generated.  If the Lilypond file hasn't 
changed, it doesn't run Lilypond again.

In most circumstances, I can see how this is desirable.

However, I need to know how to get LyX to regenerate ALL Lilypond files if I 
want to, even if the file LyX actually sees hasn't changed.

Basically, since the structure of my musical examples is so complex, I have 
taken to separating some general formatting instructions and the actual musical 
data into separate files.  These are loaded in the header of the Lilypond file 
that LyX actually sees, which is mostly a dummy file that sets up the score for 
the actual LyX example.

So, if I make changes to the actual notes of my file or to the general 
formatting header file for my examples, the file LyX sees usually doesn't 
change.  Yet, I still need LyX to re-run Lilypond sometimes.

I don't need this to happen all the time, but is there a command or a way to 
just tell LyX to re-run Lilypond for all external material insets if I want a 
complete wipe?

(I've noticed various ways of hacking this, like deleting an external material 
insertion and reinstating it in LyX, or adding an unnecessary blank comment 
line to my dummy files so LyX detects a change, but these sorts of things are 
obviously annoying when dealing with hundreds of Lilypond files.)

Thanks for any suggestions!

1. I can insert a space back in with  empty ERT+space, but then I have

the pdf output, as they should, but there are still very annoying. Is
there any way to get rid of them?

2. Every time I try a global find and replace on my file (it's a
chapter, about 25K words) with the suggested pattern (i.e: Find field:

available until it crashes. Is this a general issue with the advanced
FR?

numbering paragraphs (lyx newbie)

[Yamandu Ploskonka]

Hi!

I've been into Lyx for several weeks.

Nowadays trying to comply with these specs:

It is desirable to include an indentation at the beginning of each new 
paragraph, and for paragraphs to be numbered (i.e., [0001], [0002], 
[0003], etc.).


Despite already 2 days searching everywhere, the best I came up with was 
an ugly kludge. There /must/ be a better way


   \renewcommand\thesubsubsection{{[000}\arabic{subsubsection}{]}}


this, used with a local article.layout where I make


DefaultStyle Subsubsection

   Style Subsubsection

   Margin Dynamic
   LatexType Command
   LatexName subsubsection
   Font

   Family Roman
   Series Medium
   Size Normal

   EndFont
   TocLevel 1

   End


then eventually ERT with 
\renewcommand\theparagraph{{[010}\arabic{paragraph}{]}



It works, *except* for the PDF output of my subsubsections being in bold

I have absolutely not been able to fix that, except manually, and then 
the numbering stays in bold...


can you help, please?

Thank you!

Mariano,

check out the wiki page on biblatex. It basically says two things:

1. Put the \usepackage[biblatex various options]{biblatex}  your preamble
2. Load the bib file in the preamble with biblatex's commands: either
\bibliographyfilename} or the newer \addbibresource{filename}

full instructions are here: http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex

Yama,

what is the numbering pattern you're trying to achieve?

1. Continuous numbering throughout the document, regardless of other
divisions (sections, subsections, etc.]

2. Restarting  from each division?

3. A composite subsection/paragraph numbering?

Thank you, Stephano, good question

The required format has no sections - the only organizing level is the 
paragraph, thus the numbering should go from [0001] to [0n] as the last 
paragraph in the document. It might be nice to be able to have a few 
non-numbered paragraphs, but that hack would be very easy, if the 
numbering elsewhere were achieved.

Well, I would suggest using the paragraph sectioning command, with a
few tweaks to get the font and spacing identical to the following
text. That would also  allow you to insert non numbered paragraphs
anywhere you want. But before a solution can be provided: what is
format of the numbering? Do you need numbers padded with up to three
zeros? That is less trivial, even though there are packages that do
that.

Cheers,

Stefano

Also, it depends on which document class you're using. Here is a stab
using memoir and the fmtcount package to get the padding zeros:
Put this in your preamble:

\setcounter{secnumdepth}{5}
\setafterparaskip{0em}
\setbeforeparaskip{0em}
\setparaheadstyle{\normalfont}
\usepackage{fmtcount}
\renewcommand\theparagraph{{[}\padzeroes[4]{\decimal{paragraph}}{]}}

Then, use the first few words of each real paragraphs as the content
of the paragraph environment, as per in the enclosed example. You may
want to write a simple module that tweak the layout of the paragraph
environment in lyx, perhaps, to match more closely the final output,
and put the preamble code in the same module.

Cheers,

Stefano

Re: Using LyX to edit organise bibliographies

[Alex Vergara Gil]

I want to personally congratulate Mr Andrew Parsloe for this piece of 
art. It's outstanding and is what I'm looking for a few days ago, there 
are off course some issues I want to discuss:


1. when you import from BibTeX the coding as \textsc{} or \'{} are 
imported as text, I know this is a first approximation but it will be 
desirable that all the coding are imported as their meaning (to 
acomplish LyX phylosophy) and then exported again as coding. I mean when 
you have an accronym ABCD then the exported line should be \textsc{ABCD} 
and when you have accents like ó then the exported character should be 
\'{o}, and so on.
2. It will be desirable to have the standard sections of a bibliography 
in the definitions, so when you add a new reference you must just only 
fill the sections such as author, journal, title, and so on.

pretty picture, BibRecords.png showing what it's all about, and a
module, bibliography.module, for viewing selected records in a biblatex

way) to enable the initial lines or entry types of records (@book,
@report, @collection etc.) to show up in the Outline window, enabling
easy navigation throughout the bibliography. The up and down arrows at
the bottom of the Outline window allow the easy repositioning of

allow blocks of records to be moved up or down. The Labeling and
Description list environments are lightly redefined to style data types
(things like author = {foo}, title = {blah},) for easy readability, by
indentation (Labeling) or colour (Description). BibRecords.png shows the
results.

The Python script txt2bib.py does the plain text export, changes the

script needs a new format to be defined, Plain text (bib) -- see
EditingBibsInLyX.lyx. In the other direction bib2lyx.py imports a bib
file into LyX 2.0.3 and formats it `prettily'. (These are the first two
Python scripts I've written; I welcome suggested improvements. I work in
Windows so there may be Linux or Mac things that need doing.)

Other advantages of editing bibliographies in LyX are yellow notes,
which allow annotations and reminders to be added exactly where required
without consequence for the exported bib file; branches, which allow the
*selective* export of records; and master and child documents which
allow the large-scale organising of bibliographies.

Whereas a pdf is `prettier' than the LyX file from which it is derived,
for a bib file it is the other way around, but otherwise the
relationship is much the same: you work on the LyX file and shouldn't
have to touch the bib file any more you do the pdf.

I think you can simply fool LyX and insert a space at the very beginning
even if the stupid thing would not let you do so. You can do this both
in the find and replace area. Simply input any character followed by a
space and what else you need, then delete the first character you inserted.
You now have an initial space in both areas...

 I am working on a large project involving hundreds of musical examples

 I have run into one issue.  LyX seems to know if a Lilypond file hasn't
 changed since the last output PDF was generated.  If the Lilypond file
 hasn't changed, it doesn't run Lilypond again.

 In most circumstances, I can see how this is desirable.

 However, I need to know how to get LyX to regenerate ALL Lilypond files if
 I want to, even if the file LyX actually sees hasn't changed.

 Basically, since the structure of my musical examples is so complex, I
 have taken to separating some general formatting instructions and the
 actual musical data into separate files.  These are loaded in the header of
 the Lilypond file that LyX actually sees, which is mostly a dummy file that
 sets up the score for the actual LyX example.

 So, if I make changes to the actual notes of my file or to the general
 formatting header file for my examples, the file LyX sees usually doesn't
 change.  Yet, I still need LyX to re-run Lilypond sometimes.

 I don't need this to happen all the time, but is there a command or a way
 to just tell LyX to re-run Lilypond for all external material insets if I
 want a complete wipe?

 (I've noticed various ways of hacking this, like deleting an external
 material insertion and reinstating it in LyX, or adding an unnecessary
 blank comment line to my dummy files so LyX detects a change, but these
 sorts of things are obviously annoying when dealing with hundreds of
 Lilypond files.)

 Thanks for any suggestions!

Re: Using LyX to edit organise bibliographies

[Andrew Parsloe]

On 17/04/2012 7:21 a.m., Alex Vergara Gil wrote:
 I want to personally congratulate Mr Andrew Parsloe for this piece of
 art. It's outstanding and is what I'm looking for a few days ago, there
 are off course some issues I want to discuss:

 1. when you import from BibTeX the coding as \textsc{} or \'{} are
 imported as text, I know this is a first approximation but it will be
 desirable that all the coding are imported as their meaning (to
 acomplish LyX phylosophy) and then exported again as coding. I mean when
 you have an accronym ABCD then the exported line should be \textsc{ABCD}
 and when you have accents like ó then the exported character should be
 \'{o}, and so on.

Thanks for the kind comments. I did wonder about importing the bib files 
as LaTeX files so that commands like \textsc{blahblah} meant blahblah 
was displayed as small caps in LyX, and correspondingly, exporting as 
LaTeX so that the reverse happened, but it seemed *much* more 
complicated: some formatting, like the small caps, to be translated into 
LaTeX,  some formatting, like the list environments used for the overall 
display of the records, not to be translated into LaTeX. A few thoughts 
of this kind convinced me that converting to and from *text* rather than 
LaTeX was the way to go (i.e. was within my technical competence).


 2. It will be desirable to have the standard sections of a bibliography
 in the definitions, so when you add a new reference you must just only
 fill the sections such as author, journal, title, and so on.

If you mean having a blank record available like

@book{,
author = {},
title = {},
...

then you could create one in a yellow note (or a deactivated branch) and 
simply copy and paste as required. In biblatex there are so many 
possible fields that having a blank record containing all possibilities 
would be a hindrance rather than a help. I found it helpful to associate 
a shortcut key (Ctrl+=) with


command-sequence self-insert  = {},; char-left; char-left;

which inserts ={}, and puts the cursor between the braces, waiting for 
stuff to be typed.

Alex, I've chosen to use LyX as an elaborate *text* editor with its list 
formatting, its bolding, colour, Outline window, yellow notes, branches, 
etc., but all the time acting on plain text rather than interpreting 
LaTeX commands and displaying them as LyX does `normally'. The main 
reason for this choice (with my level of technical competence) was the 
difficulty in distinguishing, on export to the plain text bib file, 
which LaTeX commands are part of the bib file and which are just 
providing cosmetic effects to aid readability or aid navigation in LyX 
(and are not part of the bib file). Whatever the frustration of not 
having e.g. maths displayed as such, it does mean you can use LyX with a 
certain freedom, almost as a `scratch pad', colouring text here, 
emphasising it there, bolding it, if you want to draw attention to 
particular records or parts of them -- it is all stripped away on plain 
text export.

Re: numbering paragraphs (lyx newbie)

The parnum format is square bracket, four digits, square bracket

1.-
the pages of the specification (but not the transmittal letter sheets 
or other forms), including claims and abstract, must be numbered 
consecutively, starting with 1, the numbers being centrally located 
above or preferably below, the text. The lines of the specification must 
be 1.5 or double spaced (lines of text not comprising the specification 
need not be 1.5 or double spaced). It is desirable to include an 
indentation at the beginning of each new paragraph, and for paragraphs 
to be numbered (i.e., [0001], [0002], [0003], etc.).


It is preferable to use all of the section headings described below to 
represent the parts of the specification. Section headings should use 
upper case text without underlining or bold type. If the section 
contains no text, the phrase Not Applicable should follow the section 
heading.

zeros? That is less trivial, even though there are packages that do
that.


Also, it depends on which document class you're using. Here is a stab
using memoir and the fmtcount package to get the padding zeros:
Put this in your preamble:

\setcounter{secnumdepth}{5}
\setafterparaskip{0em}
\setbeforeparaskip{0em}
\setparaheadstyle{\normalfont}
\usepackage{fmtcount}
\renewcommand\theparagraph{{[}\padzeroes[4]{\decimal{paragraph}}{]}}

Then, use the first few words of each real paragraphs as the content
of the paragraph environment, as per in the enclosed example. You may
want to write a simple module that tweak the layout of the paragraph
environment in lyx, perhaps, to match more closely the final output,
and put the preamble code in the same module.

Stefano

parnum is flush with left margin, indent is just enough to allow for

the numbering is running, from 0001 to , last parnum of the

Question about biblio

[Mariano Llamedo Soria]

Hi all, I am preparing my PhD presentation in beamer, and need to use
biblatex in order to make citations appear in the same slide. I am about to
achieve this, with a lot of effort, but now my problem is that Lyx is not
copying my bib file, as done automatically with bibtex, from my custom
folder to the temp path. When using the bibliography inset of Lyx, it
generated the following latex code:

\bibliographystyle{plain}

\bibliography{\stringD:/Mariano/papers/ECG Classification/docs/database de
referencias/refs\string}


And work great, it means copy refs.bib from that folder to the temp path,
and compile and produce pdf ok. But when using biblatex, I dont know how to
do the filename conversion, or how to include refs.bib in the files to
copy list that Lyx automatically do when using the inset.

Sometime when I used the insert - file - external material I remember
that you can define a list of files to copy to the temp path, and then the
conversion script to use, etc. Maybe I can do smth similar with the bib
file.

Thanks for your help,
Mariano.

Conversion to doc via pandoc

[Rainer M Krug]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi

I just discovered pandoc, and I use it to convert to odt format (and then in 
OpenOffice to doc).

The conversion goes LyX - LyXHTML - odt

I defined the following format:

\format odt lo odt Libreoffice writer  libreoffice libreoffice 
document,menu=export

and the following converter:

\converter xhtml odt lo pandoc -o $$o $$i 

The format is very nice to work with, and I had no luck with the normal mk4ht 
way, as it resulted
in a corrupt odt document, while the pandoc route worked nicely. OK - tables 
and pictures need to
be manually adjusted, but the text was exported very nicely.

I tried to go LyX - LaTeX - odt, but the result was not as useful.

Cheers,

Rainer

Regenerating Lilypond files

[John McKay]

I am working on a large project involving hundreds of musical examples typeset 
in Lilypond.  So far, LyX has been great in handling them.

I have run into one issue.  LyX seems to know if a Lilypond file hasn't 
changed since the last output PDF was generated.  If the Lilypond file hasn't 
changed, it doesn't run Lilypond again.

In most circumstances, I can see how this is desirable.

However, I need to know how to get LyX to regenerate ALL Lilypond files if I 
want to, even if the file LyX actually sees hasn't changed.

Basically, since the structure of my musical examples is so complex, I have

data into separate files.  These are loaded in the header of the Lilypond file 
that LyX actually sees, which is mostly a dummy file that sets up the score for 
the actual LyX example.

So, if I make changes to the actual notes of my file or to the general 
formatting header file for my examples, the file LyX sees usually doesn't 
change.  Yet, I still need LyX to re-run Lilypond sometimes.

I don't need this to happen all the time, but is there a command or a way to 
just tell LyX to re-run Lilypond for all external material insets if I want a 
complete wipe?

(I've noticed various ways of hacking this, like deleting an external material 
insertion and reinstating it in LyX, or adding an unnecessary blank comment 
line to my dummy files so LyX detects a change, but these sorts of things are

numbering paragraphs (lyx newbie)

[Yamandu Ploskonka]

Hi!

I've been into Lyx for several weeks.

Nowadays trying to comply with these specs:

It is desirable to include an indentation at the beginning of each new 
paragraph, and for paragraphs to be numbered (i.e., [0001], [0002], 
[0003], etc.).


Despite already 2 days searching everywhere, the best I came up with was 
an ugly kludge. There /must/ be a better way


   \renewcommand\thesubsubsection{{[000}\arabic{subsubsection}{]}}


this, used with a local article.layout where I make


DefaultStyle Subsubsection

   Style Subsubsection

   Margin Dynamic
   LatexType Command
   LatexName subsubsection
   Font

   Family Roman
   Series Medium
   Size Normal

   EndFont
   TocLevel 1

   End


then eventually ERT with 
\renewcommand\theparagraph{{[010}\arabic{paragraph}{]}



It works, *except* for the PDF output of my subsubsections being in bold

I have absolutely not been able to fix that, except manually, and then 
the numbering stays in bold...


can you help, please?

Thank you!

check out the wiki page on biblatex. It basically says two things:

2. Load the bib file in the preamble with biblatex's commands: either
\bibliographyfilename} or the newer \addbibresource{filename}

Yama,

what is the numbering pattern you're trying to achieve?

1. Continuous numbering throughout the document, regardless of other
divisions (sections, subsections, etc.]

2. Restarting  from each division?

3. A composite subsection/paragraph numbering?

Thank you, Stephano, good question

The required format has no sections - the only organizing level is the 
paragraph, thus the numbering should go from [0001] to [0n] as the last 
paragraph in the document. It might be nice to be able to have a few 
non-numbered paragraphs, but that hack would be very easy, if the 
numbering elsewhere were achieved.

Well, I would suggest using the paragraph sectioning command, with a
few tweaks to get the font and spacing identical to the following
text. That would also  allow you to insert non numbered paragraphs
anywhere you want. But before a solution can be provided: what is
format of the numbering? Do you need numbers padded with up to three
zeros? That is less trivial, even though there are packages that do
that.

Also, it depends on which document class you're using. Here is a stab
using memoir and the fmtcount package to get the padding zeros:
Put this in your preamble:

\setcounter{secnumdepth}{5}
\setafterparaskip{0em}
\setbeforeparaskip{0em}
\setparaheadstyle{\normalfont}
\usepackage{fmtcount}
\renewcommand\theparagraph{{[}\padzeroes[4]{\decimal{paragraph}}{]}}

Then, use the first few words of each real paragraphs as the content
of the paragraph environment, as per in the enclosed example. You may
want to write a simple module that tweak the layout of the paragraph
environment in lyx, perhaps, to match more closely the final output,
and put the preamble code in the same module.

Cheers,

Stefano

Re: Using LyX to edit organise bibliographies

[Alex Vergara Gil]

I want to personally congratulate Mr Andrew Parsloe for this piece of 
art. It's outstanding and is what I'm looking for a few days ago, there 
are off course some issues I want to discuss:


1. when you import from BibTeX the coding as \textsc{} or \'{} are 
imported as text, I know this is a first approximation but it will be 
desirable that all the coding are imported as their meaning (to 
acomplish LyX phylosophy) and then exported again as coding. I mean when 
you have an accronym ABCD then the exported line should be \textsc{ABCD} 
and when you have accents like ó then the exported character should be 
\'{o}, and so on.
2. It will be desirable to have the standard sections of a bibliography 
in the definitions, so when you add a new reference you must just only 
fill the sections such as author, journal, title, and so on.

@report, @collection etc.) to show up in the Outline window, enabling
easy navigation throughout the bibliography. The up and down arrows at
the bottom of the Outline window allow the easy repositioning of

Description list environments are lightly redefined to style data types
(things like author = {foo}, title = {blah},) for easy readability, by
indentation (Labeling) or colour (Description). BibRecords.png shows the
results.

The Python script txt2bib.py does the plain text export, changes the
extension from .txt to .bib and does some tidying up. To work, this
script needs a new format to be defined, Plain text (bib) -- see
EditingBibsInLyX.lyx. In the other direction bib2lyx.py imports a bib
file into LyX 2.0.3 and formats it `prettily'. (These are the first two
Python scripts I've written; I welcome suggested improvements. I work in
Windows so there may be Linux or Mac things that need doing.)

Other advantages of editing bibliographies in LyX are yellow notes,
which allow annotations and reminders to be added exactly where required
without consequence for the exported bib file; branches, which allow the
*selective* export of records; and master and child documents which
allow the large-scale organising of bibliographies.

Whereas a pdf is `prettier' than the LyX file from which it is derived,
for a bib file it is the other way around, but otherwise the
relationship is much the same: you work on the LyX file and shouldn't
have to touch the bib file any more you do the pdf.

have discovered


3. The math insets such as $^{90}$ are imported as text when they should 
be imported as math, see point 1.
4. The coding \textemdash is imported as text when it should be imported 
as -- and the -- characters should be exported as \textemdash, this is a 
large dash


Oh! I'm using MS Windows, MikTeX 2.8 and LyX 2.0.0.

I think you can simply fool LyX and insert a space at the very beginning
even if the stupid thing would not let you do so. You can do this both
in the find and replace area. Simply input any character followed by a
space and what else you need, then delete the first character you inserted.
You now have an initial space in both areas...

 I am working on a large project involving hundreds of musical examples
 typeset in Lilypond.  So far, LyX has been great in handling them.

 I have run into one issue.  LyX seems to know if a Lilypond file hasn't
 changed since the last output PDF was generated.  If the Lilypond file
 hasn't changed, it doesn't run Lilypond again.

 In most circumstances, I can see how this is desirable.

 However, I need to know how to get LyX to regenerate ALL Lilypond files if
 I want to, even if the file LyX actually sees hasn't changed.

 Basically, since the structure of my musical examples is so complex, I
 have taken to separating some general formatting instructions and the
 actual musical data into separate files.  These are loaded in the header of
 the Lilypond file that LyX actually sees, which is mostly a dummy file that
 sets up the score for the actual LyX example.

 So, if I make changes to the actual notes of my file or to the general
 formatting header file for my examples, the file LyX sees usually doesn't
 change.  Yet, I still need LyX to re-run Lilypond sometimes.

 I don't need this to happen all the time, but is there a command or a way
 to just tell LyX to re-run Lilypond for all external material insets if I
 want a complete wipe?

 (I've noticed various ways of hacking this, like deleting an external
 material insertion and reinstating it in LyX, or adding an unnecessary
 blank comment line to my dummy files so LyX detects a change, but these
 sorts of things are obviously annoying when dealing with hundreds of
 Lilypond files.)

 Thanks for any suggestions!

LaTeX was the way to go (i.e. was within my technical competence).


 2. It will be desirable to have the standard sections of a bibliography
 in the definitions, so when you add a new reference you must just only
 fill the sections such as author, journal, title, and so on.

If you mean having a blank record available like

@book{,
author = {},
title = {},
...

then you could create one in a yellow note (or a deactivated branch) and 
simply copy and paste as required. In biblatex there are so many 
possible fields that having a blank record containing all possibilities 
would be a hindrance rather than a help. I found it helpful to associate 
a shortcut key (Ctrl+=) with


command-sequence self-insert  = {},; char-left; char-left;

which inserts ={}, and puts the cursor between the braces, waiting for 
stuff to be typed.

Alex, I've chosen to use LyX as an elaborate *text* editor with its list 
formatting, its bolding, colour, Outline window, yellow notes, branches, 
etc., but all the time acting on plain text rather than interpreting 
LaTeX commands and displaying them as LyX does `normally'. The main 
reason for this choice (with my level of technical competence) was the 
difficulty in distinguishing, on export to the plain text bib file, 
which LaTeX commands are part of the bib file and which are just 
providing cosmetic effects to aid readability or aid navigation in LyX 
(and are not part of the bib file). Whatever the frustration of not 
having e.g. maths displayed as such, it does mean you can use LyX with a 
certain freedom, almost as a `scratch pad', colouring text here, 
emphasising it there, bolding it, if you want to draw attention to 
particular records or parts of them -- it is all stripped away on plain 
text export.

Re: numbering paragraphs (lyx newbie)

[Yamandu Ploskonka]

The parnum format is square bracket, four digits, square bracket

As to the text formatting, it's supposed to be plain - no bolds, 
different sizes, anything - section titles are supposed to be like the 
rest, merely in upper case [1] . Interestingly, the one sample provided 
/does/ show horizontal lines above and below the section titles... (been 
looking for the last 20 minutes and cannot find that one, sorry...)


Thus no problem as to Class, pretty much anything plain page would do.

Maybe Memoir will be the fix. I've tried  Koma, all sorts of plain and 
some other assorted (my code was hacked out of hollywood...), but never 
Memoir.  I'll get into it right now.


BTW, I see you're Aggie, Stefano, I am located in Austin myself.

Thank you so much!

1.-
the pages of the specification (but not the transmittal letter sheets 
or other forms), including claims and abstract, must be numbered 
consecutively, starting with 1, the numbers being centrally located 
above or preferably below, the text. The lines of the specification must 
be 1.5 or double spaced (lines of text not comprising the specification 
need not be 1.5 or double spaced). It is desirable to include an 
indentation at the beginning of each new paragraph, and for paragraphs 
to be numbered (i.e., [0001], [0002], [0003], etc.).


It is preferable to use all of the section headings described below to 
represent the parts of the specification. Section headings should use 
upper case text without underlining or bold type. If the section 
contains no text, the phrase Not Applicable should follow the section 
heading.

Re: numbering paragraphs (lyx newbie)

parnum is flush with left margin, indent is just enough to allow for 
parnum and a little bit. Some examples I have seen do have some space 
between paragraphs, but it is not explicitly requested.


the numbering is running, from 0001 to , last parnum of the

Question about biblio

[Mariano Llamedo Soria]

Hi all, I am preparing my PhD presentation in beamer, and need to use
biblatex in order to make citations appear in the same slide. I am about to
achieve this, with a lot of effort, but now my problem is that Lyx is not
copying my bib file, as done automatically with bibtex, from my custom
folder to the temp path. When using the bibliography inset of Lyx, it
generated the following latex code:

\bibliographystyle{plain}

\bibliography{\string"D:/Mariano/papers/ECG Classification/docs/database de
referencias/refs\string"}


And work great, it means copy refs.bib from that folder to the temp path,
and compile and produce pdf ok. But when using biblatex, I dont know how to
do the filename conversion, or how to include refs.bib in the "files to
copy" list that Lyx automatically do when using the inset.

Sometime when I used the insert - file - "external material" I remember
that you can define a list of files to copy to the temp path, and then the
conversion script to use, etc. Maybe I can do smth similar with the bib
file.

Thanks for your help,
Mariano.

Conversion to doc via pandoc

[Rainer M Krug]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi

I just discovered pandoc, and I use it to convert to odt format (and then in 
OpenOffice to doc).

The conversion goes LyX -> LyXHTML -> odt

I defined the following format:

\format "odt lo" "odt" "Libreoffice writer" "" "libreoffice" "libreoffice" 
"document,menu=export"

and the following converter:

\converter "xhtml" "odt lo" "pandoc -o $$o $$i" ""

The format is very nice to work with, and I had no luck with the normal mk4ht 
way, as it resulted
in a corrupt odt document, while the pandoc route worked nicely. OK - tables 
and pictures need to
be manually adjusted, but the text was exported very nicely.

I tried to go LyX -> LaTeX -> odt, but the result was not as useful.

Cheers,

Rainer

Regenerating Lilypond files

[John McKay]

I am working on a large project involving hundreds of musical examples typeset 
in Lilypond.  So far, LyX has been great in handling them.

I have run into one issue.  LyX seems to "know" if a Lilypond file hasn't 
changed since the last output PDF was generated.  If the Lilypond file hasn't 
changed, it doesn't run Lilypond again.

In most circumstances, I can see how this is desirable.

However, I need to know how to get LyX to regenerate ALL Lilypond files if I 
want to, even if the file LyX actually sees hasn't changed.

Basically, since the structure of my musical examples is so complex, I have 
taken to separating some general formatting instructions and the actual musical 
data into separate files.  These are loaded in the header of the Lilypond file 
that LyX actually sees, which is mostly a dummy file that sets up the score for 
the actual LyX example.

So, if I make changes to the actual notes of my file or to the general 
formatting header file for my examples, the file LyX sees usually doesn't 
change.  Yet, I still need LyX to re-run Lilypond sometimes.

I don't need this to happen all the time, but is there a command or a way to 
just tell LyX to re-run Lilypond for all external material insets if I want a 
complete wipe?

(I've noticed various ways of hacking this, like deleting an external material 
insertion and reinstating it in LyX, or adding an unnecessary blank comment 
line to my dummy files so LyX detects a "change," but these sorts of things are 
obviously annoying when dealing with hundreds of Lilypond files.)

Thanks for any suggestions!

there any way to get rid of them?

2. Every time I try a global find and replace on my file (it's a
chapter, about 25K words) with the suggested pattern (i.e: Find field:

available until it crashes. Is this a general issue with the advanced
F?

Mariano,

check out the wiki page on biblatex. It basically says two things:

1. Put the \usepackage[biblatex various options]{biblatex}  your preamble
2. Load the bib file in the preamble with biblatex's commands: either
\bibliographyfilename} or the newer \addbibresource{filename}

full instructions are here: http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex

Yama,

what is the numbering pattern you're trying to achieve?

1. Continuous numbering throughout the document, regardless of other
divisions (sections, subsections, etc.]

2. Restarting  from each division?

3. A composite subsection/paragraph numbering?

Thank you, Stephano, good question

The required format has no sections - the only organizing level is the 
paragraph, thus the numbering should go from [0001] to [0n] as the last 
paragraph in the document. It might be nice to be able to have a few 
non-numbered paragraphs, but that hack would be very easy, if the 
numbering elsewhere were achieved.

Well, I would suggest using the paragraph sectioning command, with a
few tweaks to get the font and spacing identical to the following
text. That would also  allow you to insert non numbered paragraphs
anywhere you want. But before a solution can be provided: what is
format of the numbering? Do you need numbers padded with up to three
zeros? That is less trivial, even though there are packages that do
that.

Stefano

Re: Using LyX to edit & organise bibliographies

[Alex Vergara Gil]

I want to personally congratulate Mr Andrew Parsloe for this piece of 
art. It's outstanding and is what I'm looking for a few days ago, there 
are off course some issues I want to discuss:


1. when you import from BibTeX the coding as \textsc{} or \'{} are 
imported as text, I know this is a first approximation but it will be 
desirable that all the coding are imported as their meaning (to 
acomplish LyX phylosophy) and then exported again as coding. I mean when 
you have an accronym ABCD then the exported line should be \textsc{ABCD} 
and when you have accents like ó then the exported character should be 
\'{o}, and so on.
2. It will be desirable to have the standard sections of a bibliography 
in the definitions, so when you add a new reference you must just only 
fill the sections such as author, journal, title, and so on.

Re: Using LyX to edit & organise bibliographies

[Alex Vergara Gil]

I'm still trying Mr Andrew Parsloe's work and there are to new thing I 
have discovered


3. The math insets such as $^{90}$ are imported as text when they should 
be imported as math, see point 1.
4. The coding \textemdash is imported as text when it should be imported 
as -- and the -- characters should be exported as \textemdash, this is a 
large dash


Oh! I'm using MS Windows, MikTeX 2.8 and LyX 2.0.0.

I think you can simply fool LyX and insert a space at the very beginning
even if the stupid thing would not let you do so. You can do this both
in the find and replace area. Simply input any character followed by a
space and what else you need, then delete the first character you inserted.
You now have an initial space in both areas...

Thanks for the kind comments. I did wonder about importing the bib files 
as LaTeX files so that commands like \textsc{blahblah} meant blahblah 
was displayed as small caps in LyX, and correspondingly, exporting as 
LaTeX so that the reverse happened, but it seemed *much* more 
complicated: some formatting, like the small caps, to be translated into 
LaTeX,  some formatting, like the list environments used for the overall 
display of the records, not to be translated into LaTeX. A few thoughts 
of this kind convinced me that converting to and from *text* rather than 
LaTeX was the way to go (i.e. was within my technical competence).

If you mean having a blank record available like

@book{,
author = {},
title = {},
...

then you could create one in a yellow note (or a deactivated branch) and 
simply copy and paste as required. In biblatex there are so many 
possible fields that having a blank record containing all possibilities 
would be a hindrance rather than a help. I found it helpful to associate 
a shortcut key (Ctrl+=) with


command-sequence self-insert  = {},; char-left; char-left;

which inserts ={}, and puts the cursor between the braces, waiting for 
stuff to be typed.

Alex, I've chosen to use LyX as an elaborate *text* editor with its list 
formatting, its bolding, colour, Outline window, yellow notes, branches, 
etc., but all the time acting on plain text rather than interpreting 
LaTeX commands and displaying them as LyX does `normally'. The main 
reason for this choice (with my level of technical competence) was the 
difficulty in distinguishing, on export to the plain text bib file, 
which LaTeX commands are part of the bib file and which are just 
providing cosmetic effects to aid readability or aid navigation in LyX 
(and are not part of the bib file). Whatever the frustration of not 
having e.g. maths displayed as such, it does mean you can use LyX with a 
certain freedom, almost as a `scratch pad', colouring text here, 
emphasising it there, bolding it, if you want to draw attention to 
particular records or parts of them -- it is all stripped away on plain 
text export.

Re: numbering paragraphs (lyx newbie)

[Yamandu Ploskonka]

The parnum format is square bracket, four digits, square bracket

As to the text formatting, it's supposed to be plain - no bolds, 
different sizes, anything - section titles are supposed to be like the 
rest, merely in upper case [1] . Interestingly, the one sample provided 
/does/ show horizontal lines above and below the section titles... (been 
looking for the last 20 minutes and cannot find that one, sorry...)


Thus no problem as to Class, pretty much anything plain page would do.

Maybe Memoir will be the "fix". I've tried  Koma, all sorts of plain and 
some other assorted (my code was hacked out of hollywood...), but never 
Memoir.  I'll get into it right now.


BTW, I see you're Aggie, Stefano, I am located in Austin myself.

Thank you so much!

1.-
"the pages of the specification (but not the transmittal letter sheets 
or other forms), including claims and abstract, must be numbered 
consecutively, starting with 1, the numbers being centrally located 
above or preferably below, the text. The lines of the specification must 
be 1.5 or double spaced (lines of text not comprising the specification 
need not be 1.5 or double spaced). It is desirable to include an 
indentation at the beginning of each new paragraph, and for paragraphs 
to be numbered (i.e., [0001], [0002], [0003], etc.).


It is preferable to use all of the section headings described below to 
represent the parts of the specification. Section headings should use 
upper case text without underlining or bold type. If the section 
contains no text, the phrase "Not Applicable" should follow the section 
heading."

format of the numbering? Do you need numbers padded with up to three
zeros? That is less trivial, even though there are packages that do
that.


Also, it depends on which document class you're using. Here is a stab
using memoir and the fmtcount package to get the padding zeros:
Put this in your preamble:

\setcounter{secnumdepth}{5}
\setafterparaskip{0em}
\setbeforeparaskip{0em}
\setparaheadstyle{\normalfont}
\usepackage{fmtcount}
\renewcommand\theparagraph{{[}\padzeroes[4]{\decimal{paragraph}}{]}}

Then, use the first few words of each real paragraphs as the content
of the paragraph environment, as per in the enclosed example. You may
want to write a simple module that tweak the layout of the paragraph
environment in lyx, perhaps, to match more closely the final output,
and put the preamble code in the same module.

You can also do it with standard classes and the titlesec package
(which is not really compatible with memoir). See attached example. If
you have section headings, however, paragraphs numbers will not be
reset for every section. Is that what you need?  Resetting counters
can  be managed, I think, but off the top of my head I don't remember
how to do it automatically.
BTW, in the attached example, the spacing between the para label and
the main text (which is set in the preamble), should probably be
tweaked to get a natural looking feel. See titlesec's manual for
details.
Your specs are also not very clear about the parindent. Is the number
indented as well or just the paragraph text? At any rate, either
behavior is easy to do with memoir or the titlesec package.

Re: numbering paragraphs (lyx newbie)

[Yamandu Ploskonka]

parnum is flush with left margin, indent is just enough to allow for 
parnum and a little bit. Some examples I have seen do have some space 
between paragraphs, but it is not explicitly requested.


the numbering is running, from 0001 to , last parnum of the 
document. Only section headings would not be numbered, and that is easy 
to hack in many ways.  I'll try the attach,


Thank you!

The parnum format is square bracket, four digits, square bracket

As to the text formatting, it's supposed to be plain - no bolds, different
sizes, anything - section titles are supposed to be like the rest, merely in
upper case [1] . Interestingly, the one sample provided /does/ show
horizontal lines above and below the section titles... (been looking for the
last 20 minutes and cannot find that one, sorry...)

Thus no problem as to Class, pretty much anything plain page would do.

Maybe Memoir will be the "fix". I've tried  Koma, all sorts of plain and
some other assorted (my code was hacked out of hollywood...), but never
Memoir.  I'll get into it right now.

You can also do it with standard classes and the titlesec package
(which is not really compatible with memoir). See attached example. If
you have section headings, however, paragraphs numbers will not be
reset for every section. Is that what you need?  Resetting counters
can  be managed, I think, but off the top of my head I don't remember
how to do it automatically.
BTW, in the attached example, the spacing between the para label and
the main text (which is set in the preamble), should probably be
tweaked to get a natural looking feel. See titlesec's manual for
details.
Your specs are also not very clear about the parindent. Is the number
indented as well or just the paragraph text? At any rate, either
behavior is easy to do with memoir or the titlesec package.


BTW, I see you're Aggie, Stefano, I am located in Austin myself.

Then we're neighbor. I live in Austin too.
