Thanks for the idea. Now create a shortcut for
command-sequence inset-select-all ; copy ; char-delete-backward ; 
char-delete-backward ; clipboard-paste-simple
Having cursor in the math-inset, use this shortcut.

I've not had any data loss on my Windows 10 due to automatic updates, but I
tend to always save my files before going away from my PC. In defense of
auto-updates as a Win10 mechanism, a power loss overnight would also put
you at risk if you didn't save your LyX file properly and use a reliable
backup system, even in linux.

Using a cloud file service, e.g., Dropbox or Google drive, etc. is a way to
have a copy of your file in case something weird happens. I'm pretty sure
that Google Drive has a way (albeit cryptic) to recover versions of the
same file for up to 30 days.

Finally, I also remember how much of my own procrastination was involved
with the technical aspects of my dissertation (LaTeX vs Word vs FrameMaker
was the topic we would spend hours debating online in the mid 90s). Try not
to let it take up too much of your energy.

No - at least not the version I use.  Each distribution has its own way 
of doing updates, but having the computer automatically update, and then 
re-starting, seems, well, stupid.

I don't have any trouble with that.



Does linux still have back-ups and save temp files.

Sure, but everything is configurable.  There are advantages to linux: 
stability, speed (some programs), versatility.  When I started using 
TeX, the windows version was a complete mess.  Under linux, everything 
talked to everything else easily (a unix feature in general) and 
everything worked like it should.  Networking is part of the design, not 
a bunch of nonsense add-ons.  Security is far better.


There are, for some, disadvantages to linux as well: No Word (I regard 
this as a feature, not a problem), not many games.  The big commercial 
programs usually just ignore linux, except for Maple and Mathematica, 
and things like that.  You do kind of have to like fiddling with your 
computer to want linux on it.

I switched from Windows to Linux years ago. I ran Win 7 and Linux in

No. There are lots of different Linux distributions, but every one I'm 
aware of gives the user full control over which updates to install and 
when to install them. Also, Linux updates various components of the 
system in a more granular manner than does Windows. On both, application 
programs are updated separately from the operating system. In Linux, 
though, changes to the user display/desktop are separate updates from 
changes to the file system and so on, whereas in Windows that would all 
be handled by one system update.



Is it more stable and do you avoid the crashes out of the blue and 
when selecting large amounts of text with the mouse.


In the days when the acronym BSOD was in common use, Linux was 
demonstrably more stable. Windows has improved a lot in that regard, so 
I'm not sure whether I would claim one to be more stable than the other 
today. My current system, for instance, will occasionally refuse to wake 
from a suspended state and have to be restarted. I've never experienced 
a crash selecting any amount of text, but then again for large amounts I 
usually click at the beginning and shift-click at the end rather than 
doing a mouse drag.



Does linux still have back-ups and save temp files.

Saving temp files is up to the individual application, and making 
backups is up to the user. There are ways to make automatic backups, 
such as using a Dropbox or Google Drive folder. Cloud drives can be 
integrated into the system to look just like any other drive.


I tend to believe that Linux Mint (which is my choice of distribution) 
is an easier transition from Windows than most of the others. That said, 
users do need to learn some of the technical aspects of Linux. I would 
say that someone who is not comfortable opening a terminal (command 
prompt in Windows), navigating around the system and running a few basic 
commands should think twice about moving to Linux (unless they had easy 
access to someone Linux-savvy who could guide them a bit). Fortunately, 
it's easy to find guidance on line when you're stuck on something, 
starting with a Google search and, if necessary, going to a discussion 
forum.

Hi William,

I'm going to give you a suggestion, which if given to me, would cause
me to start a huge flame war. So please be a more accepting person than
I would be if our roles were reversed...

Do you have a way to format up a Linux computer to use for LyXing your
document? I have a feeling that LyXing under Linux would cure your
problem.

The reason I say this is that LyX has lots of problems, but crashiness
isn't one of them, or at least not on Linux. Over the last 20 years
I've used LyX, ever since LyX 1.4, on about 10 computers with about 6
different LyX distros, and except for one or two minor versions over a
decade ago, LyX was never crashy. And if I remember correctly, the
crashiness occurred back when LyX was built upon Xforms (which I
preferred), rather than Qt. To me, your symptom description sounds a
lot more like either underlying OS or hardware than LyX, and if I'm
right, you could format up a Linux box and write your document
uninterrupted.

By the way, I'd recommend you take a System Rescue CD and run all the
hardware tests on your Win10 computer. Be sure to test the RAM and the
disk.

The document class is American Mathematical Society (AMS) Article

I would guess this is a configuration issue.  Are you new to LyX? Send 
me a minimal file that shows the problem.  One way to do that is to take 
the file that is causing problems, cut it in half, and see which half

Issues using lyx

[Mr William Balthes]

I am using lyx to write my thesis and having major problems.
The program continually crashes and mostly forms an emergency file but 
sometimes not.
The document seems to get messed up regardless.
Sometimes just out of the blue the formatting for the document changes. This 
happens after I have been working on the document for some weeks. It may just 
be in a section but then it will change the whole document.
Things it changes are:
The word font changes
The word size changes
The line spacing changes
Seems to put everything in maths font
Things that were in maths code are no longer in maths code.
Changes symbols
Changes numbers with other numbers
Tries to put stuff on one line or on different lines
Deletes sub sub-sections
Sub-section name size changes
Changes order of things that were already ordered
Orders stuff that is not meant to be ordered
Seems to copy sections
Whole sections are repeated
Work that was cleared up and spelling fixed seem to go back
Seems to fuse everything together.

The document class is American Mathematical Society (AMS) Article

I can send a document sample if this helps

I am using Windows 10 and lyx version 2.1.
Hoping you can give me some advice I just seem to be redoing stuff and it gets

Hi,
It doesn't work with your example document. But maybe i missed something...

Please try with the LyX 2.0.0 release. If you still have issues, open a 
bug report for it. We should look into it.

Hi,

There are two ways to get your score into your article. The first is to 
have an external .ly file which you include as graphic in your document. 
This works fine if your score is shorter than a page.


The second is to use the new lilypond module, which will work with 
lilypond-book to produce your document. This also supports long scores. 
To use the lilypond module that comes with LyX, Lilypond 2.12 is not 
recent enough... we require 2.13 which is the development version. I 
think that there are no ubuntu packages for it, but you can download the 
source code and compile lilypond 2.13 following their instructions (if 
you are familiar with open source, it's really not too hard to do).


After installing lilypond 2.13, you will need to reconfigure LyX.

If you can't or won't install lilypond 2.13, I can tell you how to 
configure LyX to use 2.12, but I expect that we get problems doing so. I 
would highly recommend you try either the approach with the external .ly 
file or to get 2.13 to get the lilypond module working.


Cheers,
Julien

Issues with lyx 2.0 beta 1 and lilypond

[Marc Mouries]

Hi,

I am new to Lyx and just tried it to use it with Lilypond.

In LyX I do: File   New from Template, then navigate up one directory, 
select the examples/ directory, and select lilypond.lyx.


I tested with Mac and the file lilypond.lyx was not in the folder
I tested with Windows, I could find the file but when i open it, I get a 
message saying:
the module lilypond requires a package that is not available in your 
LaTeX installation.

LaTeX out may not be possible

Shouldn't MyTeX install any package that are not installed automatically?

My configuration is:
- Lyx 2.0 beta 1
- MyTeX 2.9
- Lilypond 2.13.39

thanks,

Marc

Hi Marc,

The error message is misleading. The module requires a lytex to latex 
converter (i.e., the lilypond-book program) but no specific LaTeX 
package. We should fix this.


Is lilypond-book in your PATH? It must be found by LyX at configure 
time. Could you please make sure it is in your PATH, reconfigure LyX 
(Tools  reconfigure), restart LyX and try again?


To specify your PATH either modify the environment variable or the PATH 
prefix in LyX Tools  Preferences  Paths


Let us know how this goes!

Thanks,
Regards,
Julien

The command is correct (I am most certain), only the message is cut off 
(yet another issue with the report of errors!).


My guess is something went wrong with lilypond-book. Unfortunately, the 
report of errors from lilypond-book to the LyX interface is missing.


Could you please try to export the file and produce output manually?

First the export (File  Export  Lilypond book) will produce a file 
with the lytex extension next to your lyx file.


Then run from the command line:
lilypond-book --safe --pdf --latex-program=pdflatex 
--lily-output-dir=tmpdir lilypond.lytex


and report any errors you get? This would be very helpful.

Issues with lyx 2.0 beta 1 and lilypond

[Marc Mouries]

Hi,

I am new to Lyx and just tried it to use it with Lilypond.

In LyX I do: File   New from Template, then navigate up one directory, 
select the examples/ directory, and select lilypond.lyx.


I tested with Mac and the file lilypond.lyx was not in the folder
I tested with Windows, I could find the file but when i open it, I get a 
message saying:
the module lilypond requires a package that is not available in your 
LaTeX installation.

LaTeX out may not be possible

Shouldn't MyTeX install any package that are not installed automatically?

My configuration is:
- Lyx 2.0 beta 1
- MyTeX 2.9
- Lilypond 2.13.39

thanks,

Marc

Hi Marc,

The error message is misleading. The module requires a lytex to latex 
converter (i.e., the lilypond-book program) but no specific LaTeX 
package. We should fix this.


Is lilypond-book in your PATH? It must be found by LyX at configure 
time. Could you please make sure it is in your PATH, reconfigure LyX 
(Tools  reconfigure), restart LyX and try again?


To specify your PATH either modify the environment variable or the PATH 
prefix in LyX Tools  Preferences  Paths


Let us know how this goes!

Thanks,
Regards,
Julien

The command is correct (I am most certain), only the message is cut off 
(yet another issue with the report of errors!).


My guess is something went wrong with lilypond-book. Unfortunately, the 
report of errors from lilypond-book to the LyX interface is missing.


Could you please try to export the file and produce output manually?

First the export (File  Export  Lilypond book) will produce a file 
with the lytex extension next to your lyx file.


Then run from the command line:
lilypond-book --safe --pdf --latex-program=pdflatex 
--lily-output-dir=tmpdir lilypond.lytex


and report any errors you get? This would be very helpful.

Note that the files ec/lily-5e700a3e.* exist in the tempDir


I had a quick look but I fear I don't know enough about lilypond to 
figure this out. What I see is the mixing of / and \ in the paths which 
might or might not work as expected on windows.

I am not sure, but maybe you cannot modify the format of a Figure caption without modifying the latex class or style you are using. If 
a journal releases a layout, it is normally because they want all papers to look the same, so it has no sense you to do what you want.



2. I create a lot of diagrams in MS Word and I to insert them in LyX, but when I
do, the quality of the figure is rubbish!! what is the best format for diagrams
made by MS Word?


Look here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/WinGraphics

I personally use the OLETeX program (can be downloaded from www.sourceforge.net/projects/oletex) to make the conversion of Visio 
diagrams or any other Microsoft/OLE-based diagram into EPS figures. It works great! The program is rather simple to install and to use. 
Assuming that you have this program installed, this are the steps to make the conversion:


1- Select and copy the diagram in Visio, Powerpoint, Word, etc
2- Copy it into the OTEditor
3- Choose EPS properties and select the size of the figure (this is optional)
4- Choose Convert.. and that's it!

The generated EPS has a correct bounding box.



3. When cross-referencing figures, how can I make LyX automatically put Figure
2 instead of 2 or Figure 2 on page 3?

Your help is most appreciated.

I'd say postscript or PDF. You print to file using a printer such as
Generic Postscript to generate a postscript file from the diagrams.
You can then use Insert-Graphics to import the PS file. You will
probably have to use Clipping option in that dialog box to remove all
the added white space around the diagram.

Open Office can convert documents to PDF. You could also try opening
the diagrams in Open Office and exporting them to PDF.

Either way you should get the same quality you'd get if you printed
the diagram straight from word.

Re: Issues with LyX

[Neil Hepburn]

Hi Salim

I'm not sure about an answer to the first question. However, for the  
second question, in my own experiences with that I found that it  
wasn't really possible -- it seems that the resolution that the  
diagrams are at in a word file is rather poor.  You might try pasting  
them into a new document in something like Gimp (an opensource image  
editing program) and then trying to touch them up there.  For the  
third question, when you bring up the cross-reference dialog box, you  
will see an option for format. If you select Formatted reference it  
will produce something like 'Figure 3 on page 4' etc.  You can also  
select other formatting things (such as it automatically putting  
'Table #' for table references).


Depending upon the underlying LaTeX system on your computer, you may  
have to install an extra package -- I ran into an error a while back  
when I tried to use Formatted Reference on a windows machine with  
MikTeX -- it complained about some package not being present. On a Mac  
with MacTeX, the package already there. I hope this helps.

Neil
