The memoir class ignores LyX page sizes. You have to define them in
the  preamble.

Here is what I have put in the preamble to solve a similar problem:

\setstocksize{9in}{6in}
\settrimmedsize{9in}{6in}{*}
\settrims{0pt}{0pt}
\settypeblocksize{7.7in}{4.5in}{*}
\setulmarginsandblock{24mm}{20mm}{*}
\setheaderspaces{0.625in}{*}{*}
\setlrmargins{0.75in}{*}{*}
\setlength{\marginparwidth}{0.0in}
\setlength{\uppermargin}{0.7in} %Top margin including header

Re: PDF output wrong size

Sorry about that. It's been a while since I posted.
I'm running LyX 2.3.4.3 on WIN10. The class is memoir. I specify that the
paper format should be 8 x 5, but the program doggedly outputs to 8.5 x 11.
Other paper format specifications result in the same problem.The problem is
not caused by tables or figure floats; only by graphics, whether in a
figure float or not. Deleting the graphic allows the program to output to
the size specified in paper format. Downsizing the graphics doesn't help.
This behavior was not noticed until recently because I had been working for
a couple of years on a book in the 8.5 x 11 (letter) format which outputs
normally with graphics inserted.
Please find attached a new file with minimal text, graphic without float,
and nothing in the preamble, which results in the same undesirable output.

Re: PDF output wrong size

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Richard (Opheim)

This is not a MWE. 

Remove EVERYTHING (packages, layouts) from the file (and preamble) which
does not cause the error. Or construct a virgin file, without anything 
other than a line or two of text, add the paper format and the image. 
If that works out add one modification, package at the time and 
regenerate the PDF.

That often helps me finding the cause :-)-O

Re: Remove the braces in Lyx file converted from latex file

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

RiKi,

I have been through this (curly removal) before.

While Perl can remove braces easily and quick and dirty as in

s/\{//g;
s/\}//g;

this will remove ANY and ALL curlies.

If the LyX document contains other curlies they will also go. So you 
might need to copy the formula from the LyX file into a buffer, remove 
the curies and then paste again.

Writing a Regular Expression to do this intelligently (ie working from
the outside braces to the inside) is extremely difficult.

Never mind how the LyX code actually looks like. (I.e. who are the 
curlies represented there)

Zhao,

can you post a minimal working example LyX file here? A line of text or 
two and one single imported math formula.

greetings, el
