Some LyX layout questions
I'm working on a self published book project in LyX. The book is a
compilation of my articles that were previously published on the web.
The book is just about finished, and I've figured out most of the stuff
that I needed to customise, but there are a few fine tuning issues that
I need to sort out. I am using the Komascript book class. I'd be very
grateful for any suggestions that anyone can offer.
I'll include all of the queries in this single post
Chapter header
I'm having difficulties suppressing the headers at the beginning of the
book. The first Chapter is a starred chapter (Introduction) and as a
result, the contents header leaks into it. This means that header for
pages in my introduction says contents. I have tried using
\thispagestyle{empty} in various places but it doesn't seem to surpress
the contents header. Is there a way to assert a starred chapter
heading as the current chapter in the headings? I have used some ERT to
add the introduction to the contents. Another possibility would be to
find a way to suppress the chapter header in the contents. I don't mind
if headings are switched off until the first numbered chapter.
Text on part pages
Is there a way of putting text on part pages? I've seen some references
to doing this but I've not been able to find a solution that can be
applied to LyX. Adding an imported image would be even better.
Margin titles
Is it possible to have margin titles that hang slightly into the outside
margins of the page?
Chapters at top of page
Is it possible to move the chapter titles to to the top of the page? As
it stands, the chapter title starts about two inches from the top of the
page. I suspect that a solution involves the sectsty package but I can't
work out how to do it.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Exactly what you will want, I don't know. But try in ERT, on the first
line of the introduction:
\markboth{Introduction}{Introduction}.
Note that you'll have to put font changes into that, too, if you want
them to show up in the output.
By the way, you can let LyX do the font stuff for you. (This trick
should be better known.) Do this:
[ERT: \markboth{]Now Type In LyX[ERT: }{]More Stuff in LyX[ERT: }]
And you can style Now Type In LyX any way you want, using bold,
italic, whatever.
Text on part pages
Is there a way of putting text on part pages? I've seen some
references to doing this but I've not been able to find a solution
that can be applied to LyX. Adding an imported image would be even

Look at the titlesec package. You can do almost anything with it.
Margin titles
Is it possible to have margin titles that hang slightly into the
outside margins of the page?
Yes. You can use fancy headers for this, and you can customize them
endlessly. See section 12 of fancyhdr.dvi.
Chapters at top of page
Is it possible to move the chapter titles to to the top of the page?
As it stands, the chapter title starts about two inches from the top
of the page. I suspect that a solution involves the sectsty package
but I can't work out how to do it.
Yes, this can be done. Probably titlesec would do it, but I'm not sure.
You may have to dig into your LaTeX class and redefine whatever is being
used to create the heading. In book.cls, it is here:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
{\parindent \z@ \raggedright \normalfont
\ifnum [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\huge\bfseries [EMAIL PROTECTED] \thechapter
\par\nobreak
\vskip 20\p@
\fi
\fi
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\Huge \bfseries #1\par\nobreak
\vskip 40\p@
}}
If you were using book.cls, you could just copy this into your preamble
and remove the first \vspace line, or change it. (You would need to put
this between \makeatletter and \makeatother commands, as well.)

For last to problem you can try with titlesec package.
With titlesec you get total control over title parameters and TOC.
