Problem_with_BibTeX/bibtopic
Good morning, I'm using LyX 2.0.1.5 on Windows 7 (MiKTeX 2.9.4813). Since my thesis covers a very specific topic (QM of Retinal's Photoisomerization) I have to divide my Bibliography in two sections: 1. Essential Bibliography 2. Further Reading First I looked up the package biblatex, which I found very useful for this purpose, the only bad thing is that I have to use only LyX (I even searched http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex but the procedure described is too tricky). After consulting the Additional LyX Features I searched the package bibtopic and, after following to the letter the description on paragraph 3.1.2, I get this unexpected looking division: Essential Bibliography [1] Document... [2] Document... Further Reading [3] Document... [4] Document... The problem is that the citation numbering doesn't stop for each paragraph, even if two BibTeX Bibliographies have been generated; maybe it is determined by the absence of an appropriate Bibliography title: since bibtopic removes it, I had to manually re-add that (as a \chapter* or \section*, for instance). I know that biblatex offers a better result, since the citation numbering is divided properly, but to use this feature I have to switch to TeXworks: Essential Bibliography [1] Document... [2] Document... Further Reading [1] Document... [2] Document... So can I still use BibTeX (and the related extensions) and be able to generate the same result as biblatex? P.S.: I apologize fot the possibly bad English and the request itself, because on other forums I've been told to switch directly to biblatex and forget about LyX. Best Regards, Andrea Landella

Misunderstood comment on LyX Site.
Dear Misters, I wold begin my request with a special thanks to all of you for the continuing efforts in order to make LyX even more user friendly, as my favourite LaTeX front-end. Recently, I came up with a problem with the new release of the stabilized version 2.0.5, I installed LyX 2.0.4 and MikTeX on 9-10-12, since the version 2.0.5 has some useful improvements, I thought that it could be easy to update using a simple installer as the comment on the site states: Installer: LyX-2.0.5.-Installer-2.exe (~35 MB) Download this one if you already have an older version of LyX installed and you want to update it. This installer requires that LaTeX (MikTeX or TeXLive) already be installed. With Windows 7 I wonder if the direct installation of the *.exe file implies the formation of two distinct versions of LyX at the same time or, as the comment says, the update of my current version. I hope you will be able to give me the detailed explanation on how the version update should be done properly. Best Regards Andrea Landella P.S.:I truly apologize for any possible grammatical mistakes, because English is not my first language.
