Hello fellow humanists!

where can I tell Lyx once forever that it shall load the textcomp
package always with the option full, because this is required by
certain other packages?
You can pass the full option to DocumentSettingsClass Options.
Class options will be passed down to the packages by LaTeX.
Still curious to hear some more opinions and experiences.
I'm succesfully spreading the word of LyX to my supervisors and

collaboration. As we won't be able to implement everything, it would be
