make the vertical spacing before and after the equations smaller.
Put the following in the latex preamble:
\AtBeginDocument{
\addtolength{\abovedisplayskip}{-2ex}
\addtolength{\abovedisplayshortskip}{-2ex}
\addtolength{\belowdisplayskip}{-2ex}
\addtolength{\belowdisplayshortskip}{-2ex}
}
Adjust the spacing as needed. You can use any length, not only ex.

Aha, the secret sauce! I'd suggested the length adjustments to Barak (out of
band), using \setlength, but didn't know how to get them to work in the preamble
(\AtBeginDocument). Learned something new.

Thanks to both of you. This works perfectly. Barak

Re: Vertical space before and after equations
Thanks, Gwen. I'm familiar with that code, but I'm looking for a global option. I have a lot of formulas and I can't insert the code manually for each one separately. Barak

Vertical space before and after equations
Hello, I'm preparing a formula sheet, and would like to get as many formulas as I can inside a limited number of pages. I've already used most of the tricks in the book: 3 columns, narrow margins, small paragraph line spacing, etc. However, one important thing I want to change is the spacing before and after equations, which is disproportionately large but seems to be oblivious to the settings for paragraph and line spacing. How can I manually set the spacing for the equations? Thanks in advance, Barak
Re: Vertical space before and after equations
In regular latex you might be able to use \vspace{0.5cm}, or
\vspace{-0.5cm} (for example), before or after each equation. You
might be able to put that in ERT (Insert - TeX code) in LyX.
HTH.
