OK, the problem is that you use the memoir class, which has its own
implementation of the setspace functionality in newer editions.
However, this functionality is offered as capitalized commands like
DoubleSpace environment.
Juergen, what shall we do? I remember messages from you about memoir
incompatibility, but I cannot see a reference.
One solution would be to have memoir.layout provide SetSpace and act
of the require to change the spacing commands as needed.

pdfsync messes up my layout
Hello LyX-List,
I'm trying to use pdfsync with PDFView or Skim.app in LyX 1.5.2
When using the package {pdfsync} the whole layout is messed up with
pdflatex.
Lots of extra vertical space, and especially all the \marginpar notes
behave not the way they used to behave.
Any ideas?

1.5.3 bug? - using child documents with same class causing error
HI, I decided to upgrade to 1.5.3 today (windows) and tried working with a file that has several child documents included. When trying to view the pdf (and thus opening all the child docs), I am getting an error that the child docs have a different text class than the parent file. However, the classes are the same - I even did a diff on the files and the text class lines are identical. I rolled back to 1.5.2 and didn't have any issues there. Can anyone shed some light? I've had a few little issues previously where lyx was robust to a problem in a file, and upon upgrading it was more strict and thus caught what should've been caught before - but this seems like a different issue unless Im not supposed to be declaring a text class in the child documents or something of that nature.

OK, the problem is that you use the memoir class, which has its own
implementation of the setspace functionality in newer editions.
However, this functionality is offered as capitalized commands like
DoubleSpace environment.
Juergen, what shall we do? I remember messages from you about memoir
incompatibility, but I cannot see a reference.
One solution would be to have memoir.layout provide SetSpace and act
of the require to change the spacing commands as needed.

pdfsync messes up my layout
Hello LyX-List,
I'm trying to use pdfsync with PDFView or Skim.app in LyX 1.5.2
When using the package {pdfsync} the whole layout is messed up with
pdflatex.
Lots of extra vertical space, and especially all the \marginpar notes
behave not the way they used to behave.
Any ideas?

1.5.3 bug? - using child documents with same class causing error
HI, I decided to upgrade to 1.5.3 today (windows) and tried working with a file that has several child documents included. When trying to view the pdf (and thus opening all the child docs), I am getting an error that the child docs have a different text class than the parent file. However, the classes are the same - I even did a diff on the files and the text class lines are identical. I rolled back to 1.5.2 and didn't have any issues there. Can anyone shed some light? I've had a few little issues previously where lyx was robust to a problem in a file, and upon upgrading it was more strict and thus caught what should've been caught before - but this seems like a different issue unless Im not supposed to be declaring a text class in the child documents or something of that nature.

OK, the problem is that you use the memoir class, which has its own
implementation of the setspace functionality in newer editions.
However, this functionality is offered as capitalized commands like
DoubleSpace environment.
Juergen, what shall we do? I remember messages from you about memoir
incompatibility, but I cannot see a reference.
One solution would be to have memoir.layout provide "SetSpace" and act
of the require to change the spacing commands as needed.

I found that:
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg52814.html
Would adding \DisemulatePackage{setspace} fix some of our problems (at
the price of not so good spacing?)
I suspect there is a problem with parskip.sty also.

Okay, I'll take a break and await advice. Thanks for looking into it. \d -- I have a low-traffic blog for basic news: http://otherwiseingle.blogspot.com/
Re: Pasting Tex code from Maxima into Lyx
Mark the expression and convert it to a math-box (e.g. with Ctrl-M) or just paste "x^2" into a math-box. I was looking for the same thing -- but for "normal" LaTeX like text with sections, footnotes,... Is there a non math-specific way to paste LaTeX code from the clipboard - just like importing LaTeX documents? Regards Toby

I think there's no bug report yet, but there is a wiki page: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/UsingMemoirInLyX > One solution would be to have memoir.layout provide "SetSpace" and act > of the require to change the spacing commands as needed. Yes, I guess we need this. I have recently tried to solve it by redefinitions of setspace commands in the preamble and "Provides setspace 1", but this does not work, since the global commands are put before the Class preamble. Do you like to have a go? (we probably need to check since when these memoir SetSpace stuff exists, and require a certain version). Jürgen

Thanks for the tip. I have added it to the Lyx Wiki for future reference. On Jan 9, 2008 8:22 AM, G.

pdfsync messes up my layout
Hello LyX-List,
I'm trying to use pdfsync with PDFView or Skim.app in LyX 1.5.2
When using the package {pdfsync} the whole layout is messed up with
pdflatex.
Lots of extra vertical space, and especially all the \marginpar notes
behave not the way they used to behave.
Any ideas?

Try to add
\DisemulatePackage{setspace}
in the preamble of your document.

I seem to remember that LyX adds this too late in the game, but my memory
might be wrong

Indeed. It is a bit better with
\DisemulatePackage{setspace}
\usepackage{setspace}
but there is still an error.

Too bad.
And if "Provides setspace 1" is set additionally?

For the time being, you can use the ERT workarounds outlines on the wiki page I referred to. Jürgen

It would not help, we need to actually load setspace.
