Re: TOC and recto pages
To summarize : Desire a single blank page after TOC if TOC is on the recto page. Situation: The TOC was just long enough to be reaching the bottom of the recto page, but not quite. The Chapter following would be glued to the TOC without a blank page between them., thus it would appear on the verso -- not ideal. Solution : Insert chapterprecis and type one line, then ctrl-enter and some spaces. I do this under all my chapters and this puts a line under the precis -- which also appears in the toc. This increases the toc size enough for it to break onto the next verso page. Suddenly -- the chapter behaves as expected and jumps to the recto page. In short : Increase the size of the toc by padding it some way. FWIW, \d

Section numbering mystery
Hello again, I have attached a sample file. The problem is explained within, but to precis: 1. I want roman numeral numbering up to the TOC, thereafter I want normal numbering. 2. I want the SECTIONs to not be numbered, but to appear in the TOC This file, on my system, is numbering the SECTION on DVI/PDF output, but not in Lyx. Can someone steer me in the right direction? \d section.numbering.mystery.lyx Description: application/lyx
Re: Section numbering mystery
Forget it - I found an answer on: http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/RomanPageNumbering Once again, I had searched the wiki for Roman numerals -- to no avail. If I had tried mainmatter, it would have worked. I got to it from google with lyx numbering frontmatter mainmatter \d
TOC and recto pages
Hello, I have tried to find and answer to this, but it's a tough one to phrase. I have a toc that varies as I add and remove subsections. I want the final output to have Chapter one begin on a recto (right hand) page. I am using memoir, and I don't know how to tell the toc to ensure it adds a blank page as needed to ensure this. I could just insert a page break, but this would not guarantee that the next section began on a verso page. Any ideas? \d
tek capacity exceeded input stack
Aw man, Just on the verge of seeing my work almost done and I get this error message. No google, no lyx wiki help either. It says Tek capacity exceeded [input stack size = 1500]. It happens when I insert a page break. I have several in the file, but not over 20 of them. Also the file is 100K in size. Remove the break, all fine. Put it in, bang! I hope there's a quick fix. \d
Re: tek capacity exceeded input stack
Okay - I don't have a choice but to hack around. I'm busy now, pulling stuff out and testing. \d

Section orphans
Hi,
(I post with trepidation; having searched the wiki -- I promise.)
I am setting poems with this kind of approach (using memoir class.)
---
\poemtitle{Blah}
\settowidth{\versewidth}{xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx }
\begin{verse}[\versewidth] Line 1 \\
Line 2 \\
Line 3 \\
\hspace{2.5em}Line 4 \end{verse}
--
What's happening is that Blah (the title) is being orphaned on the
page and I want it to (automatically) break to the next page.
I have this in the preamble:
--
\newcommand{\extratablespace}[1]{\noalign{\vskip#1}}
\flushbottom
\newcommand{\myrule}{\rule{5cm}{.1pt}}
\raggedbottom
\widowpenalty=1
\clubpenalty=1
-
Which (I think) is the big-stick approach to the problem, but it's not working.
Any ideas?
\d
Verse margin
Hello again, How could I shift the left edge (margin?) of the verse environment across to the right? I would like to have it further across the page. I'm not sure what class is the best for setting verse. Memoir seems to work, but each poem is oddly staggered left and right. Ideally, I want: 1. Poems and titles (which appear in toc) centered on page, left aligned to a set margin. 2. The option to center-align some poems (so they are symetrical) - but still central to poems above and below it. 3. The option to stagger lines (using hspace maybe) for interesting layouts. Please give me a hand. I am thinking that OpenOffice might be the way to go, but I don't want that kind of pain! \d
Re: Verse margin
Les, I have been using that manual all along. If that's the best that Lyx Co. can do for my layout needs, then I really am doomed. I don't want to learn latex right now, it's just a learning-curve too far for me. Forget poetry -- how would you inset a block of text (and it's subsection title) so that it's deeply indented into the page? I have tried 2 column mode, but can't figure a way to clear the first column. I have tried a table (in true old-fashioned html table-design fashion) with blank columns (to get the indenting), but it seems one can't have a subsection env. within a table cell. I thought there may be a boffin out there who can tell me which .inc or .layout file, and where, and how, to edit so that verse env. simply uses a larger indent. Thanks anyway :) \d
Re: Verse margin
Bennet - Thanks a million for that file. It comes hot on the heels of Christian's advice about a minipage and from the looks of things it's a winner! I'm closing OpenOffice right now! \d

Newb - How to prevent page number on first page
Hello, new to Lyx etc. I am on Kubuntu Dapper, using Lyx 1.5.1 (I installed it from a .deb). I am using the memoir class because I am laying out poetry and I have managed to get it more-or-less the way I want it from the memman.pdf document. (Perhaps there's a better way to layout poems, but that's another thread.) At the moment, I want to prevent the very first page (title page) of the book from having a page number -- at all. I'm not sure what the protocol is on this list, should I attach a sample .lyx file? Thanks, \d
Re: Newb - How to prevent page number on first page
I'm not sure what the protocol is on this list, should I attach a sample .lyx file? But note that if your text contains poetry only Limericks or Haiku is acceptable contents. Okay, it would help me - I want to line-up the heading of the poem with the left edge of text (when a poem is left justified.) Is there a better way to layout poetry? This slash renewcommand business is tedious. \d snippet.lyx Description: application/lyx
