Both LyX and lilypond has "titles", and either form can be used to
good effect. So this depends on what you want to do.
LyX title:
This is the title for the whole document. Write it on the first line
(not inside some lilypond stuff) and change the environment from
"Standard" to "Title". You can only have one such title, and it must
be at the start of the document.
Lilypond title:
This is a title for a piece of music, and goes inside a lilypond inset.
For general information on lilypond insets, read Help->Specific
Manuals->Lilypond
Here is an example that works:
Make document with a lilypond inset (Start with the above mentioned
help document if necessary)
This goes inside the lilypond inset:
\header {
title = "Symphony"
composer = "Someone"
}
\new PianoStaff <<
% RH Staff
\new Staff {
\clef treble
\key aes \major
\time 2/4
\partial 8
8\staccato
}
% LH Staff
\new Staff {
\key aes \major
\clef treble
\partial 8
8\staccato
}
>>
You probably have longer music than that. :-) The title is in the
"header" block. See www.lilypond.org for more information about what
you can put in such header blocks - composer, arranger, author,
translator and so on.

Did you have a look in the Help>Lfuns (or what it is called in English or Greek) manual? OTOH, if you know tie the system-keybord-layout and the text language in LyX¹ it should be fairly easy: "language greek" when the keybord layout is set to Greek, "language english" (or whatever you use as secondary language), else. It may become a problem if you use several non-Greek languages or language variants. Günter ¹ not only used for spellchecking, but also for hyphenation and auto-generated strings.
Re: Lyx to Latex to Lyx
Den 13. aug. 2015 22:53, skrev Hal Kierstead: I do not think you understood me. Suppose a create a LyX file and use it to generate a tex file. I send it to my coauthor who does not use LyX. He makes modifications to the LaTex file without changing the front material, and sends me his Tex file. I should be able to use tex2lyx to make a revised version of my LyX file. But this requires many corrections by hand. Currently, LaTeX import isn't perfect. There are some ways around this. If your co-author only works on certain chapters/sections, then you may put those in files (child documents) of their own. Then you can work on most of your LyX document undisturbed by his work on his parts. You may even be able to avoid re-converting his pieces back to LyX files - for a LyX master document can have child documents that are latex files too. Obviously, this only works if he works on separate parts of the document - not if he needs to make changes everywhere. The best would be to convince the coauthor to use LyX for this document - perhaps helping out with the LyX installation. But I guess that is not an option here. Helge Hafting
