The "figure" becomes "figure*" by selecting the "Span columns" option in
the LyX: float dialog (Right click on "float: Figure" > Settings > Span
columns).
A "custom" float may be defined to instruct the \begin{figure*} command
directly as per the following:
--->%--
Float
Typefigure*
GuiName Figure*
Placement p
Extension lof
NumberWithinnone
Style plain
ListName"List of Figures"
ListCommand listoffigures
IsPredefined true
UsesFloatPkg false
End
--%<---
In the "Customization" document, in "5.3.8 Floats" it is stated:
Type [string=””] The “type” of the new class of floats, like program or
algorithm. After the appropriate \newfloat, commands such as \begin{program} or
\end{algorithm*} will be available. So, the above looks like a "duplication"
(?).
So, after using the custom "figure*" float (which does work!), it is still
possible to select "Span columns" (which is NOT pre-selected). Another star is
added and the float becomes "figure**".
On the Span columns, the "Embedded Objects" manual states:
The option Span columns is only useful for two-column documents: If you select
it, the float will span both columns on the page instead of being confined to
just one.
How can we put all this info together and have a clean "Figure*" float for
tufte-book? Perhaps reword the "is only useful for two-column documents"
sentence as well (?).
Thank you, Nikos

From my keyboard:
Hello Nikos,
I just checked and I'm using LyX Version 2.1.3 so it will be different
anyway.
Sorry for the noise.

Not certain this is the answer because I haven't tried it. But in ERT:
\begin{fullwidth}
And between these two ERT commands place your full page float
\end{fullwidth}
Maybe that will work?

Where is float figure* in tufte-book?
Dear Tufte-LaTeX users, the example file "tufte-book.lyx" contains an example of the "float: Figure*", a full-width figure box. I can't trace this anywhere in the (Insert) menus. Using LyX Version 2.1.4. Any help highly appreciated. Nikos

Yes, "use non-TeX fonts" loads the "fontspec" packagea, which in turn loads "xunicode" which in turn loads the tipa character commands from the t3enc.def file from "inputenc". Günter

Thanks, Charles--it was simpler than that even. I thought for some
reason that one had to load TIPA in the preamble in order to use it in
Qtree, but everything works without it, so simply removing
\usepackage(tipa) from the preamble in the XeTeX version fixed my
problem.
So the problem here is that TIPA needs to be called expressly even if
the Linguistics module is loaded, if you want to use IPA in syntactic
trees. I have a few shorthand commands for IPA symbols in my preamble,
which also would not work without calling TIPA. But TIPA does not need
to be loaded for XeTeX/non-system fonts even if IPA symbols are called
in qtree, unless there is a conflict between custom-defined function
names and whatever XeTeX introduces (apparently \dz{} is taken, for
example).
For the two or three people in the world using LyX with IPA and
syntactic trees, I am including two example files, one that uses Arial
and another one that uses plain TeX with the linguistics module.
