Re: Problem with Bibliography author-year style in document class "book (KOMA-script)
thank you!
In the meantime, I fixed some of my problems and I'm pretty happy with
the results.
- part of my problem apparently was a bad bib-file, which I fixed now.
- I found a good solution for deleting the short titles from my
reference list: \renewcomma...@biblabel[1]{} in the LateX preamble did
the trick. I found the suggestion here:
http://texnik.dante.de/cgi-bin/mainFAQ.cgi?file=bibtex/bibtex#nolabel
- I did manage to change the square brackets around the citations in
the text to round ones with:
\renewcomman...@cite}[2]{({#1...@tempswa , #2\fi})} in the preamble
I am still looking for a way to get rid of the brackets around the
year in my citations. Right now, they look like this: (Talos(2008)),
and I want them to look like (Talos 2008).
so, if anybody has suggestions, that would be great!
apart from that though, I'm very happy with the results for now.

Re: Problem with Bibliography author-year style in document class "book (KOMA-script)
I chose the elsarticle-harv and changed every citation using formatting
->citation style in document.
can you please provide a _small_ LyX example file to be able to reproduce
the problem?

Re: Problem with Bibliography author-year style in document class "book (KOMA-script)
thank you very much for your reply!
what style did you choose for the bibliography itself? (when you right
click on "BibTeX Generated Bibliography" -> Settings... to choose the
bib-file and the citation style from the list)
I ask because, unfortunately, the preamble produced two error messages
for me (see below). but maybe it depends on what corresponding style
you choose? (I did choose natbib in Document -> Settings ->
Bibliography...)
The error messages:
Undefined control sequence.
\bibpunct
{(}{)}{,}{a}{,}{,}
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}.
\bibpunct{(
}{)}{,}{a}{,}{,}
You're in trouble here. Try typingto proceed.
If that doesn't work, type X to quit.

Re: Problem with Bibliography author-year style in document class "book (KOMA-script)
The solution works for me.
See http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/HumanitiesLyX
Using NatbibTo set up LyX to use natbib, go to
Document→Settings→Bibliography and check natbib.
Add the following line to your LaTeX preamble:
\bibpunct{(}{)}{,}{a}{,}{,}
This specifies in-text punctuation options for citations, i.e., Author
(Year), commas between citations, and so on. See the natbib documentation
for details.

Re: Problem with Bibliography author-year style in document class "book (KOMA-script)"
Thank you! I fixed my bib-file (it did miss a year!), so that was
certainly good advice. I also downloaded some additional packages
through Miktex and tried out some other citation styles. Some of them
work (such as apalike or plain), but the ones I would need don't.
The citation styles that don't work all give me a lot of error
messages saying "Undefined control sequence." and the error
descriptions look something like this (this one came when I used the
style chicago):
" ...r{Aiginger}{Aiginger}{2007}]{Aiginger.2007}
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined."
I do not know why the name of the author (Aiginger) is repeated so
often, that is not the case in my bib-file. In other error messages,
symbols like % suddenly appear in the text where there are non in the
bibtex file.
Does anybody know what the problem might be?
I tried different encodings when I exported my references from citavi
to bibtex (UTF-8, US-ASCII, Western European (ISO), ...) but nothing
changed. Is there a specific encoding I should use?
Thank you!

When I choose the style "plain", creating a pdf works without problems, but the Bibliography shows up using numbers, both in the Text - e.g.: [2, 192] - and in the Bibliography, which is not what I want. This is almost always due to some sort of error in your bib file. A missing year in an entry, for example, will force BibTeX to use numerical citations rather than author-year citations. All the other styles I've tried (natbib, plainnat, apacite, ...) produce various error messages when I create a PDF, and in the PDF the Bibliography is all garbled up (Authors' names appear several times, the German Umlaut-Letters like ö/ä/ü are not printed, formatting is messed up, etc.). If these are written with umlauts in the bib file, that also could cause a problem. It depends very much upon encoding issues and the like. I have been looking for a solution for hours now, and I am just not sure where my problem lies or what to do next. Should I try changing the document settings in Lyx (in the Preamble, for example)? Or do I need a program to edit the bib-file? Which program would be easy to use on windows? Or could the problem be that my .bib-file is not configured right? A bib file is just a text file, so you can open it in notepad or whatever. But you might want to use something like JabRef, which will give you a nice interface to the file. Richard
