Re: Author-year in Lyx
Hi Kamarul,
in order to use author-year you need to use natbib. If you use bibtex as
your reference processor, all you need to do is to put
\usepackage{natbib} in your preamble (DocumentSettingsPreamble) and
choose Natbib in DocumentSettingsBibliography. When you insert your
bibliography file (InsertList/TOCBibTeX Bibliography), you should
choose plainnat as a style. This gives you the basic setting. Many more
things are possible, including changing the style and so on. See the lyx
wiki page on bibliography for a first description of the package [1].
There is also documentation for natbib in your latex installation (search
for the file natbib.pdf on your computer or type texdoc natbib at a
terminal). I enclosed a minimal example as a working LyX file (with a
minimal bib file).
The above assumes you are using bibtex. If, instead, you are using biblatex
(like me), you should proceed differently. Write again and I'll explain how
(it is very easy).
Also, please write to the whole lyx users list---your chances to get help
will increase substantially
Cheers,
Stefano

Dear Prof Franchi,
I stumbled a post by you on setting the author-year citation in Lyx. I
have problems in writing the citation using author-year style in Lyx. I
have tried a few links and the suggested workaround on Lyx website, but
nothing works.
I guess the problems lie in the 'Document setting' and 'Tools' in Lyx. I
am using Lyx 2.0.6 on Windows 8. My citation does not show properly and no
bibliography generated, even though the bib files were correctly
set/linked.
Would you mind, list the correct (your working) setting in Lyx so that I
might be able to test it on my laptop.
Thanks very much.
Best wishes,

Re: LyX very slow on Mac
Hi Jerry, I just tested again. On my computer there IS a considerable speed up in 2.1. In 2.0.6 I do the two finger scroll and then wait and wait. In 2.1 the scroll is quite fluent. Not as fast as, for example, MS Word, but acceptable. But then, it could be a different problem. In my case it was not only the scroll that got slower. Everything in LyX was slow, for example insert math. That seems to have been solved with 2.1.
