lilypond
I imported a lilypond file with include-external file-filename.ly. I checked that file in advance to make sure it will be compiled correctly with lilypond. If I try a pdf preview in Lyx, I get an error and the head of the protocol is: This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009/Debian) (format=pdflatex 2012.7.20) 16 JAN 2013 13:41 entering extended mode %&-line parsing enabled. **lilypondTest.tex (./lilypondTest.tex LaTeX2e <2009/09/24> Babel and hyphenation patterns for english, usenglishmax, dumylang, noh yphenation, loaded. What is wrong? Any help please? Regards bllochl
DVI bug? Correction! Sorry!
I use Lyx Version 2.0.2 on mint (13) mate 64 bit. I needed some very long time to figure out, why the rotation of the cell (in the first column) and the TeX-Code (in column 2+3) does not work. At least I found, that this is a problem of DVI (CTRL+D). Displaying the Document with DVI-Latex pdflatex (CTRL+R) works correct! May be knowing this will prevent some users wasting lots of time looking for he bug in their document. Regards BB

permanent, global [basicstyle={\scriptsize}] ?
I frequently have to use "Programlisting" in a document. I find the Font to large in comparison to the rest of the text and sometimes have problems to get large fields of data on a page. So I have to change the style from standard to small or very small for every Listing. That is boring and time consuming. Is there any possibilty tro change this global for the complete document, eventually with a simple entry in the Latex start code? I tried some variants but had no success. The problem is, that the entry of the scriptsize is after the begin tag: \begin{lstlisting}[basicstyle={\scriptsize}] ... prog. code \end{lstlisting} Regards BB
strange compiler error
I compiled lyx about a dozen times in the last month and did not have any problem beside the usual missing packages. I run lyx on a 64 bit ubuntu 9.10, debian and others. I downloaded from the lyx homepage. As I tried to compile today on an ubuntu 9.10 running on an amd, I got some problems, some data here: processor: 0 vendor_id: AuthenticAMD cpu family: 6 model: 8 model name: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1700+ stepping: 1 cpu MHz: 1477.409 cache size: 256 KB OK, not a really bolide, but good enough for text processing and surfing. ~/lyx-1.6.5$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.

Tufte layout?
I found some remarks, that there is a new layout called tufte in lyx available. I found a remark printed in red on http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Tufte-book that this new layout (book +handout) should be added with the new lyx release 1.6.5 automatically: As of version 1.6.5, LyX includes a Tufte-book layout and example file. May be I misunderstand that sentence? My interpretation was, that Tufte-Book is included as i. e. book(KOMA-script). Instead I find an entry with "not available" in the list of document classes. Is it a packaging error or is it my misinterpretation an I have to install Tufte-layouts myself? (That is explained at http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/UserDir) Regards BB

Lyx on debian lenny 64 bit zlib/libz
The actual lenny repository offers Lyx 1.5.5.. I tried to compile Lyx 1.6.2 from source but ende with problems in the ./configure-step. with the message: ** Cannot find libz. Please check that the zlib library is correctly installed on your system. I installed a lot of libs from the lenny repository, for instance lib64z1, libzzip-0-13zlib1g, zlib-bin, zlibc, zlib-gst, zziplib-bin and tried some installations of zlib and libz from source from offerers of other internetpages as well - no success. I tried the version Lyx 1.6.3 with some new hope but end with the same result. It would be simply great, if anyone would share the secret of that libz or zlib or whatever to get a new version of Lyx running on lenny. Thanks BB

bug lyx 1.6.2/3
I found the bugtracker down for migration, so I report a misbehaviour of lyx 1.6.2 and 1.6.3 here: I actually use lyx 1.6.3 self compiled on ubuntu 9.04, former I used 1.6.2 self compiled from source. If I make a break with an open document in lyx and eventually the screen will be locked, I am unable to process the text - it will be a kind of frozen in both versions of lyx. I can open all menues, but I am unable to save the text. The solution is to close lyx and I will be correctly asked if I wish to save the text. When opening the text again I can work with the document normally. I would say, that particular bug is not dangerous because one will not lose any data, but it is a bit annoying. Best regards BB
letter?
The Documentation "User Guide" from December 7, 2008 might be outdated? The Description of writing a letter (p. 50 in the german version of the document) does not describe the reality. I tried all types of letter-documents, but none offers the described option of adress-right? For instance if I try letter(DIN-Brief, German) I get an environment for an adressee, but I am unable to write the complete adress with name, street and town? That is also true for the simple letter environment. In the letter environment letter(KOMA-Script) I found Name and Town, no street? May be the adress-supplement will work? In any case in trying to compile such adress-experiments I get a message, that an empty document was generatet. Where is the Adress? That is also true if I add a letter text. That will not be shown in the compiled document. Is there any description how to make letters with lyx? Best regards BB
whitespace improvement
I tried lyx after some long time again found lyx on an up to date level compared to former versions - thanks to the developers! Something that did not following common logik in the past and actually as well is the handling of whitespace always following any punctuation mark like .,;:--?!]}) etc. You easily can miss it and lyx does not care about. I think, that under all normal circumstances any punctuation mark MUST be followed by a whitespace and I think it would be a good idea to let that check and make lyx if one forgets it. Such an intelligent feature is comparable to the deletion of more than one whitespaces between two words, where lyx takes care and a correction. There are some cases where a point will not be followed by whitespace, for instance the point operator in Java that separates objectnames from methods and may be there are some more. So, anyway it should be possible to eliminate whitespaces for special purposes. But the default should be a single whitepace following any punctuation mark. I actually downloaded the source of lyx, but as I am not familiar with the source I do not believe that I can find the point of entry for such a change to experiment with. May be there is someone more skilled than I am and interested to give such a feature a try? Best regards bitu
