This will be the first time I've actually had to update LyX to a new version. Do you have to uninstall the old version first (2.0.7), or do you just go ahead and install 2.0.7.1 right over the top of the installed version? Thanks again. Sebastien

I'll look into the latex commands to tweak this and see if there is anything possible. The solution suggested by Stefano provides a good starting point. The documentation on this seems slim, though, despite it being what would appear to be a fairly common occurrence (footnotes in titles). Sebastien
Re: Footnotes in titles
Stefano, Thanks a lot for your help. That's great. It's not perfect, but it does work, and is good enough to get by for the moment. Sebastien

Also, it might be interesting to note that, in his 'footmisc' package documentation, Robin Fairbanks repeats that it's best to avoid footnotes in titles — but in the very same document he has not one, but *two* footnotes before he even gets to the first paragraph!

I tried what you suggested--inserting a protected return within the footnote itself. Upon output to PDF, there is now an error message, although the document does compile. The result is that the footnote mark and the corresponding footnote now disappear completely from the output. But perhaps I wasn't clear enough in my question: the problem is the format of the footnote reference mark itself at the end of (or even within) the text of a section or chapter title. I'm wondering if it's possible to change the format of the reference mark, so that it doesn't get set in large bold type and stick out awkwardly. Sebastien

But I'm still learning LyX, and redefining Koma-script parameters is way beyond me at the moment. If anyone who knows the Koma-script class had any ideas, I'd much appreciate it. Regards, Sebastien

I appreciate you pointing it out. However, in the current situation, I've set up the bibliography using the \setbibpreamble & \breakbibliography commands (with help from a kind contributor to this list) in order to have preambles and different sections within the bibliography. I've just tried what you suggested and the "Hanging Paragraph" environment won't work within the "Bibliography" environment. So, is it possible to create a hanging paragraph within the bibliography while keeping the "Bibliography" environment intact? Thanks for any help anyone might be able to provide. Regards, Sebastien

Spellchecking suggestion
Hi, I often use notes in LyX to put random comments about a document, which is very handy. Problem is, the spellchecker also checks the notes (which are full of non-existent words). An option to prevent notes from being spellchecked would be very helpful (and quite reasonnable, since notes won't be output in the final document). I was not able to find such an option if it exists. Many thanks to the developers for the immensely useful tool that is LyX! Regards, js

Could somebody help me ? thanks Sebastien
