Problem with header in nomenclature
Hello all, I am getting ready to send off my thesis, but there are two formatting issues with LyX that I still need to resolve. 1) I have a Table of Contents, List of Figures, List of Tables, and Nomenclature in my front matter, with headings at the top of the page. However, the Nomenclature is two pages long, and the second page of it carries the 'List of Tables' header. Is there any way to change that? 2) This is more of a bibliography question, so if I need to be redirected, that's fine. I'm using plainnat with biblatex/biber, and I would like multiple authors to be conjoined by // rather than by /and/. How can I do this? I am using LyX 2.1.0 on Ubuntu 14.04. Thanks!

Re: Cannot find control file (.bcf)
When I was having these problems a few weeks ago, it came up that
there's a conflict between biblatex and polyglossia:
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/119682/how-to-use-polyglossia-with-biblatex
I solved this problem by using babel and having no language package set
in Tools Preferences Language Settings Language. Perhaps putting
babel in the preamble itself would help.

Jason,
I tried to open your MWE but it seems it is in lyx 2.1 format. I have
only
lyx 2.0 installed.
Jason,
I have some general comments.
- Please do not top post. Always write your message _below_ the included
previous messages or _right_below_ to a part (of a previous message) you are
actually refer to.
- The examples you have provided are not minimal examples. Rather they are
very complex documents. Try to reduce the example to as simple as possible
removing unnecessary text, unnecessary options, and preamble settings but
keeping those that cause the error.
Back to the specific case:
In the bib file you attached in your previous mail (MasterList.bib) the
last entry (@BOOK{UNICEF2009) is incomplete and not correctly closed. There
is a missing } at the end and I think address = is not valid. The entry
Cohen1998 is not correct. For me this caused compilation error and a very
different output.
I am attaching the corrected bib file and two pdfs, compiled with the
original, and with the fixed bib file.
In your current message the log file indicates that during compilation
bibtex is used. This should be biber (backend is set to biber in the
preamble). Maybe you have not set lyx to use biber instead of bibtex under
Tools=Preferences=Output=LaTeX=Processor: biber. Make sure you have
biber set there.
Hi Csikos,
,
Thanks for your helpful instructions, and for fixing my bibliography.
Unfortunately, they do not solve my problems. Any time I select biber as the
backend (in the preamble, in settings, in preferences, and in any
combination), the PDF does not compile. With your fix, in both the beta and
the stable version, I get two 'Undefined control sequence' errors, one for
\sortlist and the other for \endsortlist.
Hi Jason,
my suggestion to get out of the problem you find yourself is the same
as Cskos's: try to reduce the number of variables as much as possible
in order to isolate the root of the problem.
The first thing you need to find out is whether you have a working
biblatex+biber installation.
1. Make a new lyx file using one of the standard classes (book,
article), add )only* your biblatex call to the preamble (the
\usepackage and the \addbibresource commands), and put no more than
one word of text in the file itself, plus a couple of references at
most. See what happens.

Hello all,
I'm having some trouble getting my bibliography and in-line citations
formatted properly. For some reason, the bibliography is sorting in
the
order the references are cited, rather than in alphabetical order.
Moreover, inline citations that should be Author (YEAR) are Author
(Title). I'm using biblatex 2.8 and biber 1.8, with natbib and
plainnat
style on Ubuntu 13.10 with Lyx 2.1.0dev (the references don't even
load
in 2.0.7 for some reason).
In the same document, ERT with the ExPex package isn't formatting as
expected. I'm trying to get bold italics , but \bf gives me bold
upright
characters and \textbf gives me one bold italicized character
followed
by italics. I'm also trying to get small caps, but it's just plain
lowercase. Any thoughts or aid people can give would be most welcome.

Jason,
I tried to open your MWE but it seems it is in lyx 2.1 format. I have
only
lyx 2.0 installed.
Jason,
I have some general comments.
- Please do not top post. Always write your message _below_ the included
previous messages or _right_below_ to a part (of a previous message) you are
actually refer to.
- The examples you have provided are not minimal examples. Rather they are
very complex documents. Try to reduce the example to as simple as possible
removing unnecessary text, unnecessary options, and preamble settings but
keeping those that cause the error.
Back to the specific case:
In the bib file you attached in your previous mail (MasterList.bib) the
last entry (@BOOK{UNICEF2009) is incomplete and not correctly closed. There
is a missing } at the end and I think address = is not valid. The entry
Cohen1998 is not correct. For me this caused compilation error and a very
different output.
I am attaching the corrected bib file and two pdfs, compiled with the
original, and with the fixed bib file.
In your current message the log file indicates that during compilation
bibtex is used. This should be biber (backend is set to biber in the
preamble). Maybe you have not set lyx to use biber instead of bibtex under
Tools=Preferences=Output=LaTeX=Processor: biber. Make sure you have
biber set there.
Hi Csikos,
,
Thanks for your helpful instructions, and for fixing my bibliography.
Unfortunately, they do not solve my problems. Any time I select biber as the
backend (in the preamble, in settings, in preferences, and in any
combination), the PDF does not compile. With your fix, in both the beta and
the stable version, I get two 'Undefined control sequence' errors, one for
\sortlist and the other for \endsortlist.
Hi Jason,
my suggestion to get out of the problem you find yourself is the same
as Cskos's: try to reduce the number of variables as much as possible
in order to isolate the root of the problem.
The first thing you need to find out is whether you have a working
biblatex+biber installation.
1. Make a new lyx file using one of the standard classes (book,
article), add )only* your biblatex call to the preamble (the
\usepackage and the \addbibresource commands), and put no more than
one word of text in the file itself, plus a couple of references at
most. See what happens.
If biblatex/biber work in the simplest possible scenario, you can
start to work on your (very complex) preamble.
I created a new document with just two citations using BiBLaTeX and
biber, and the document still fails to compile, giving me the same two
errors that I cited above, for \sortlist and \endsortlist

One more thing: bibtex and biblatex are two different things. Both uses a bib
bibliography style. Only bibtex uses bst style file. If you use biblatex it is
indifferent which style is chosen. The style is controlled by preamble options
or by biblatex.cfg file in biblatex.
It is worth to read the biblatex manual. (Not an easy reading as it is missing
a short introduction with clear examples.)
I have tried to read the biblatex manual, and I have been unable to

Hello all,
I'm having some trouble getting my bibliography and in-line citations
formatted properly. For some reason, the bibliography is sorting in the
order the references are cited, rather than in alphabetical order.
Moreover, inline citations that should be Author (YEAR) are Author
(Title). I'm using biblatex 2.8 and biber 1.8, with natbib and plainnat
style on Ubuntu 13.10 with Lyx 2.1.0dev (the references don't even load
in 2.0.7 for some reason).
In the same document, ERT with the ExPex package isn't formatting as
expected. I'm trying to get bold italics , but \bf gives me bold upright
characters and \textbf gives me one bold italicized character followed
by italics. I'm also trying to get small caps, but it's just plain
lowercase. Any thoughts or aid people can give would be most welcome.
I've attached an he.
Jason,
I tried to open your MWE but it seems it is in lyx 2.1 format. I have only
lyx 2.0 installed.

Re: Odd bibliography/citation formatting, ERT formatting
I've attached the LaTeX and BiBTex logs in one text file. I've also
attached a LyX MWE with the ERT that got left out of the first one, to
show the formatting problems that were apparent in the PDF of the beta file.

Hi Csikos,
I've provided a non-beta file with this e-mail. However, here the problem is
different, as I stated in the original e-mail. In the non-beta, even with
what I believe are the same settings (I'll admit I could be overlooking
something), the references don't load at all. There is no formatting of the
citations and no bibliography prints at the end. I would be happy to
continue to use the stable version of LyX if it meant I could get my
references and could format my ERT properly.
I have attached the PDFs of the non beta and the PDF of the earlier LyX file
and also the .bib file, as well, so that people can see what I'm seeing,
even if it's not reproducing on their machine.
Jason,
you file works fine here on LyX 2.0.7 (see attached). Citation and
bibliography are as you desire (I think).
What do you see in the log file?

Hi Jason,
I am glad to hear your problem was solved. I don't quite understand
why the second step was necessary though.
In fact, removing backend=biber from the call to biblatex should
have no effect, since biblatex would then use the default backend,
which is indeed biber.
Moreover, in my tests on your file, everything compiled with the
offending backend=biber in place.
Would you mind trying restoring it and letting me know which kind of
errors you get?
Cheers,

Upon restoration of that piece of code, the bibliography doesn't load
when the file compiles. Moreover, the in-text citations remain unformatted.

Hmm, I cannot reproduce it here. It compiles fine with the
backend=biber option, references are prperly printed, the biblioraqphy
is all right, etc. Two options come to mind:
1. You somehow have a faulty biber installation. Biblatex tries to
call biber and fails with backend = biber. Without it, however, it
tries first to call biber, then falls back on bibtex (or possibly some
other engine).
2. Biber installation is fine, ut somehow biber cannto find your bib
file (perhaps you have spaces in the path)?H
Would you mind trying the following:
1. Restore the backend=biber option.
2. Run Viewpdf(xetex)
3. Look into DocumentLatex Log, cut and paste the output in your reply
4. Still from within DocumentLatex log, select bibTeC from the
Log type drop down menu, and similarly cut and paste the output.
I would really like to understand if there is something wrong in how
Lyx calls biber.

Ahh, I get it know. You probably have bibtex selected in
DocumentSettingsBibliographyBibliography generation
if you change the setting to biber or (I think) to Default, you
should be able to use
backend=biber in your biblatex call in the preamble.
Cheers,
Stefano
I wish I could say that that worked, but unfortunately it did not.
Whether biber or default is selected, including backend=biber in the
preamble causes a conflict that keeps the bibliography from printing and
the in-text citations from formatting. Additionally, selecting biber in
the path you provided has the same issues. It's only with Default that
this document compiles correctly.

the file compiles. Moreover, the in-text citations remain unformatted.
Hmm, I cannot reproduce it here. It compiles fine with the
backend=biber option, references are prperly printed, the biblioraqphy
is all right, etc. Two options come to mind:
1. You somehow have a faulty biber installation. Biblatex tries to
call biber and fails with backend = biber. Without it, however, it
tries first to call biber, then falls back on bibtex (or possibly some
other engine).
2. Biber installation is fine, ut somehow biber cannto find your bib
file (perhaps you have spaces in the path)?H
Would you mind trying the following:
1. Restore the backend=biber option.
2. Run Viewpdf(xetex)
3. Look into DocumentLatex Log, cut and paste the output in your reply
4. Still from within DocumentLatex log, select bibTeC from the
Log type drop down menu, and similarly cut and paste the output.
I would really like to understand if there is something wrong in how
Lyx calls biber.
Thanks,
Stefano
Here is the BiBTeX log, as requested.
This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (TeX Live 2012/Debian)
Capacity: max_strings=35307, hash_size=35307, hash_prime=30011
The top-level auxiliary file: Dissertationtemplate.aux
Ahh, I get it know. You probably have bibtex selected in
DocumentSettingsBibliographyBibliography generation
if you change the setting to biber or (I think) to Default, you
should be able to use
backend=biber in your biblatex call in the preamble.
Cheers,
Stefano
I wish I could say that that worked, but unfortunately it did not.
Whether biber or default is selected, including backend=biber in the
preamble causes a conflict that keeps the bibliography from printing and
the in-text citations from formatting. Additionally, selecting biber in
the path you provided has the same issues. It's only with Default that
this document compiles correctly.

Hi Jason,
I am glad to hear your problem was solved. I don't quite understand
why the second step was necessary though.
In fact, removing "backend=biber" from the call to biblatex should
have no effect, since biblatex would then use the default backend,
which is indeed biber.
Moreover, in my tests on your file, everything compiled with the
offending "backend=biber" in place.
Would you mind trying restoring it and letting me know which kind of
errors you get?

Re: Trouble loading biblatex module
Thank you! This gets me a lot farther. Now my trouble is that previewing
with XeTeX (which I need for my font) fails and gives me 5 identical
error messages: Undefined control sequence.
\begin{document}
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.
When I try previewing with other options, the file displays but there is
no bibliography. Following the wiki I copied this into the preamble:
\usepackage[style=authoryear,natbib=true,backend=bibtex]{biblatex}
and put the path to my .bib file there as well
\addbibresource{/home/username/Dropbox/LASTNAME Dissertation
Year/Dissertation/Master List-Saved.bib}
I inserted the bibliography in a comment near the end (and earlier in a
note, with no difference), and right after that, I put
\printbibliography in ERT. When I try to preview that, my error messages
come up. Any thoughts?

As a test, try moving your bib file to a space-safe directory,

Would you mind posting the preamble (what you see in

You may also try to run LyX from the command line with the -dbg latex

change the \addbibresource command accordingly and see if the
compilation ("preview") goes through. Report back otherwise.
Cheers,
Stefano
Thanks for your patience and assistance!

Re: Trouble loading biblatex module--RESOLVED
Hi all,
Stefano was gracious enough to look at my LyX file directly. He
discerned after a good bit of discovery that the problem was two lines
in the TeX preamble:
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage{english}
To remove them, I had to go to Tools→Preferences→Language
Settings→Language. I wiped the Command start field and changed the
language package to None. Apparently polyglossia and biblatex don't work
together, but according to this post (
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/119682/how-to-use-polyglossia-with-biblatex),
the development version of biblatex will fix this problem.
Once that was done, I needed to go to
\usepackage[style=authoryear,natbib=true,backend=biber]{biblatex}
and delete ,backend=biber in order to get the bibliography to display.
Thanks again to Stefano!

I went through and changed the bibliography path for both the citations and
the comment as well, but got the same error.
This makes me think you have another biblatex-unrelated problem in
your preamble.
Would you mind posting the preamble (what you see in
Document>>Settings>>Preamble)?
Or you may want to send me the lyx file privately, if you prefer.
You may also try to run LyX from the command line with the -dbg latex
option ( that is: $>lyx -dbg 128)
and see which kind out error messages you get. going even further, you
may try exporting your lyx file to LaTeX (File>Export>Latex(Xelatex))
and then rung xelatex on it from the command line.
Cheers,

Trouble loading biblatex module
Hello all, I'm hoping this is as simple a problem as my other recent query. I would like to use biblatex to generate a bibliography, but I'm running into trouble. On my Ubuntu 13.04 machine running LyX 2.0.7, I have tried to follow the instructions on the wiki ( http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex) to little success. I have copied the text of the biblatex.module file ( http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/BibTeX/biblatex.module) and saved it to /home/myusername/.lyx/layouts (which was otherwise empty-- I'm not sure if that's normal). I then reconfigured LyX and restarted. When I tried to load the module Biblatex-citation-styles, I got an error message: Error reading module biblatex. I appreciate any insights! --Jason

Getting back custom insets, Covington examples
Hello all, On my Ubuntu 13.04 machine, running LyX 2.0.7, I downloaded a thesis file in this zip file: http://uthm-thesis-lyx.googlecode.com/files/uthm-thesis-lyx-V-05.zip. Specifically, I am using the UTHM-Thesis-Classic-authoryear-V-05.lyx file that I unzipped to my Downloads folder. However, when I open it up, the tools for linguistics that I expect (Covington examples, Glosse/Tri-Glosse custom insets) are not available in the file. How can I get these features into this template so that I can format the thesis correctly for my own needs? Thanks to anyone who can help! --Jason

Re: Changing Tri-Glosse
Thank you for this. This seems to italicize the second line of the Glosse feature as well, which I had not intended. I was trying to get it so that when I wanted to gloss two dialects, both would be in italics, and all glosses would be in normal type. When I gloss just one dialect, I'd like still like the gloss to be in normal font. Is there a way to do that?
