Okay, thanks Richard,
The Endnote module is there, but if I add it after commenting out my

\usepackage{endnotes}
\let\footnote=\endnote
I get an error about "Undefined control sequence" because of some TeX
containing "\theendnotes" which I had used to place them. Without
that, I don't see them as endnotes, but just footnotes. Is there
another, expected, way to insert the endnote placeholder when using
the Endnote module?
It seems like you should be using the Foot to End module. The endnotes
module adds a special endnote inset, which can be used in addition to
footnotes. (It can be found under Insert> Custom Insets.) The Foot to
End module basically just adds the two commands you mentioned.

Re: Beamer Class: Centering 2 Minipages
On Thu, 16 Jun 2016, Paul A. Rubin wrote: Any reason you need minipages as opposed to columns? Paul, No. I considered columns, but years ago I learned to use minipages in beamer so I followed that practice. To make this slide, I would start with a Frame environment, then under that create a "Columns Center Aligned" environment and nest it under the Frame. From there, I'd create a "Column" environment, setting its width and nesting it under the "Columns Center Aligned" environment. Next, add content and nest it under the "Column". Now repeat with a second "Column" and more content. One annoying feature to note: if you go back and add something under the first column, it de-nests the second column. Not fatal, but you need to keep an eye on it. I'll take this approach for a test drive. Thanks, Rich

I spend a lot of time trying to get both centered on the slide without success. There must be something I'm doing incorrectly despite reading the built-in beamer manual. Let me ask the devs two more specific questions: 1. When there are two minipages on a beamer class slide, what are the actions of the vertical position choices for contents and box? 2. How do the vertical positioning choices for one minipage affect the other's? When I search in the beamer presentation help doc within lyx for the term 'minipage' nothing is found. Understanding the behavior of these minipages is likely to be useful to others as well as myself. TIA, Rich

Okay, let me just say that I'm a doctor and not a programmer (just an IT
enthusiast) so I may be off on some of my answers here... what I
noticed that the čć and similar are converted to gibberish in bib file
key and lyx could not read it... it may indeed be problem due to bib
encoding or jabref new version... don't think that lyx is really the
problem here.
Now that I've manually removed the croatian diacritics from the
Bibtexkey I get a load of new errors complaining of undefined fields
like so:
\newblock Available from: \url
{http://stacks.iop.org/0031-
9155/48/i=16/a=...
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
This is due to DOI and URL fields in bib file, because if I erase them
no more errors. I can however ignore this error (warning?) and get a
perfect result.
So, apologies to LyX powers that be, I guess I was to blame here,
probably some encoding change in bib file after upgrading other software
that I didn't notice ... shouldn't use those characters in key fields
anyhow... :)

module for footnotes as both footnotes and endnotes
This wiki page suggests there will be ("As of LyX 1.6") a module that would
enable both footnotes as endnotes and displayed as usual footnotes, but I
can't seem to find it: https://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/EndNotes :
"In the 1.6 series, endnotes will be supported by two sorts of layout
modules . One of them, *foottoend*, just
implements this trick. Another provides direct support for endnotes, in
addition to footnotes."
I'm using LyX 2.1.2 on Debian GNU/Linux.
There is a workaround that keeps me changing the preamble: I get an error
upon opening a document and trying to generate a PDF: "LaTeX Error: File
'file.ent' not found." Then If I uncomment a line in the preamble saying,
"\let\footnote=\endnote", and regenerate the PDF, it compiles and displays
(but the footnotes only exist as endnotes). Then, if I re-comment out that
preamble line, and regenerate the PDF, the footnotes are in both places
without error. And it continues to work until I close and reopen the
document (when presumably file.ent is removed).
Is there a module that I'm just not seeing, or another simple solution?
Thanks,
Luke
