Could you also post the gist of the article and a link to the wiki
(http://wiki.lyx.org)? This way it might get the desired attention more
easily and permanently.

I am at the moment preparing a guideline for my colleagues how to use LyX for writing scientific books and reports. I would like to refer your link as one of the references.

Re: Question About Custom Layouts and Styles
Dear Richard and other LyX Users,
Thank you very much for the recommendation, it worked perfectly. The
final formatting worked out to be:
Counter subsection
LabelString "\Alph{section}.\{subsection}"
End
Since this is one of those "Write it down or forget it" type of things,
I also put together a blog post that describes the whole process.
Granted, most of it is just stolen out of the LyX documentation, but I
find it handy to put together these types of cheat sheets for myself.
If interested, you can find it at:

The article includes links to download the files.
Cheers,

Dear Richard and other LyX Users,
I managed to solve a few of the formatting problems. To change the
section labels from numbers to letters, I added the following to the
nih.cls file:
\def\thesection{\Alph{section}}
That solved the output problem. Now I am trying to get the labels for
section, subsection, and subsubsection to match the LaTeX output. I've
been able to figure it out for section:
Style Section
LabelType Counter
LabelCounter section
LabelString "\Alph{section}"
End
But I've been stumped on how to do the same thing for subsection and
subsubsection. This still show 1.1 and 1.1.1 respectively, but only in
LyX. The LaTeX output is correct.
Did you try just doing the same thing, more or less, in the Subsection
and Subsubsection styles?
You can also do this in the counter block, e.g.:
Counter subsection
LabelString "\Alph{section}.\alph{subsection}"
End
I think this may also work:
Counter subsection
LabelString "\thesection.\alph{subsection}"
End
Like LaTeX.

I've been in the process of creating a custom layout file for the NIH grant LaTeX class (http://www.cs.duke.edu/brd/NIH/tips/).
