I didn't try because I've a new problem:
since I use BibLatex, I couldn't have both Biblatex and musixflx work (I just

Hello, I used Lyx 1.6.0 with Biblatex in a italian document.

I used to save my .bib file with a UTF encoding, and then in the Language

Hello fellow LyX users,
I have to take a decision: wether to split my doctoral thesis in different
