You’d need symlinks if you wanted to keep user files (e.g., the personal 
spelling dictionary files pwl_english.dict) for LyX 2.3.x and LyX 2.4.y in 
sync, as they are in separate directories under ~/Library/Application Support.

I have used a setup like that for over a year with no problem. No Symlinks or 
anything, just calling one app LyX, and the other LyX-23 (or whatever).

It’s not clear what you are asking. There should be no problem installing both 
versions on your machine. But it is usually the case that you can’t smoothly 
edit the same document with different versions of LyX, as there are usually 
changes in the .lyx file format from version to version. (There’s usually no 
problem importing documents created from older versions of LyX into newer 
versions but vice versa is usually (always?) problematic.)

If all you want to do is install both versions of LyX, then, assuming you 
currently have LyX 2.3.8 installed, just open the Applications folder on your 
machine and rename LyX.app to “LyX 2.3.8.app” and then install LyX 2.4. I think 
the only issue is that LyX 2.3.8 will look in ~/Library/Application 
Support/LyX-2.3 for its support files (personal bind files, personal spellcheck 
files, etc) and LyX 2.4 will look in ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-2.4 so 
those could get out of sync. (You could probably create symlinks in your 
LyX-2.3 folder to keep things in sync but you can kick that can down the road 
for now.)

LyX wizards might be appalled at something I’ve said here...

Biblatex does not allow to mix different styles in a document.

I would suggest that you compile the publication list on your own and
adapt the pagination via \setcounter{page}{}

Polina,

  I doubt there is a 'proper' way, only one acceeptable to your committee.

  Have you considered putting your publication list as a separate,
un-numbered chapter, or an appendix? Those would be what I would try, but
I've not had an need to use the master-child document format (my publishedf
book was one document with a single reference appendix).

  Others likely have other solutions which better fit your needs and your
committee's preference.

Good luck defending,

Have you tried unsubscribing using these two addresses? I don't use
Gmail, so I  don't know whether this is feasible sending from Gmail,
but with SMTP it is certainly possible to set the "From" field as
something other than the actual sender.

Note that the mail server is almost certainly case-sensitive, so while
it may send an email addressed to jezzi...@gmail.com to the same place
as an email addressed to jezzi...@gmail.com, it might not regard them
as the same address when editing lists.

Re: Please help!

[jezZiFeR iMap]

Dear Scott,

Thank you for your ideas.

1.
I have thought of this, but there is just shown this address here in  
the complete header. There also is an e-mail-address, in which one  
could enter another address than the one you write from, to  
unsubscribe the entered address. It might really be, that another  
address is forwarded, but when I looked on the google-site, I idid not  
find it. And in the header I could find the following:

Delivered-To:   jezzi...@gmail.com


2.
Maybe I subsribed with one of the following:
jezzi...@gmail.com
jezzi...@googlemail.com

Unfortunately I don’t have the welcome message anymore…

lyx-users-ow...@lists.lyx.org is the »human being« which is mentioned,  
if the automized version does not work, but nothing happend after the  
several times I have told my problems there.


Why is it so difficult to get out of this list? I have treid  
everything which is written on http://www.lyx.org/MailingLists#toc2 on  
how to get out of the list.

Which is the normal way to get out? Do the mentioned ways work  
normally? I always got the answer, that my address would not be on the  
list – but I still get the e-mails.


Is there anybody in the list who could help?

If you can get it almost right with the LyX settings for Natbib then I would
stick with it. There is a Natbib manual which is not too long and you can
find a lot about Natbib in Google Groups. I would try to add some extra
setup information for Natbib to the LaTeX preamble in LyX -> Document
settings to get it working. Unfortunately I never use Natbib nor APA so I
can not help you more.

An ugly workaround, IF, you only need to use the \cite command would
be to change the bibliography setting back to Default (numerical) from
Natbib. Then put (in your preamble):

\usepackage(apacite)
\usepackage[authoryear]{natbib}

Otherwise, if you need to use something other than \cite, you'd have
to use ERT rather than the LyX dialog to insert bibliography
citations. But, if you just need to do this for one paper it may not
be a bad way to go. It does work, it's just not pretty.

There is a package conflict between apacite and Natbib. Please read
through the apacite documentation and specifically the Natbib section:

http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/apacite/apacite.pdf

It seems that apacite needs to be loaded before Natbib, but because of
the LyX document settings Natbib will be loaded first. So, the real
question to post to the list is how do you load apacite before Natbib?
Which I don't know.

LyX - JabRef: Great combination.

I can't help with the LaTeX/LyX side of this, but I found I needed to 
alter the document type (article, book, inproceedings), and add {} 
brackets to force cap's in JabRef to get my bibliography formatted 
correctly.  So if there is only a problem with a relatively small number

 Does this happen with other documents, or just the book you created?  If
 it's just the book, I suspect that MiKTeX is choking on something.  Try
 exporting the book to a LaTeX file and running MiKTeX on it from a
 command prompt.  Maybe MiKTeX will throw up a message indicating what's
 going wrong.  Another possibility is divide-and-conquer; lop out about
 half the book and see if you can get a PDF out of the rest.  If so, try

If there's no MiKTeX (or other LaTeX distro), the LyX installer should 
fail during the configuration script, and I don't think he'd be able to 
open documents.  But I'm not positive about that.

Llewelyn,

  First, let me encourage you to upgrade to -1.4.4. The -1.3.5 release is
very old and no longer supported. No reason why the latest stable release
will not run on your system.


All the Book classes available on my version of LYX have a common
shortcoming LOOK at any Book you buy or get from the Library and you will
see that chapter one starts on the right hand page . The page is therefore
bound on its left edge Similarly if I do some document for my office or
for a sales proposal we put it into a presentation folder with the binding
on the left.



In the Book class in LYX odd pages  eg number one are always with the Binding
space on the right side of the page .This convention is very troublesome


  Second, you're looking at it from the wrong viewpoint. Take a book from
your shelf and open it anywhere. You'll see that the outer page margins are
wider than the inner page margins. That's because when you lay the book flat
on its back, the inner margins of both pages make the text area look
centered.


The second problem is that LYX will only start a Chapter on odd number
pages and this results in Lyx inserting blank pages Blank pages are thus
even number and so always take up position on the left side of an open
book . I would be better served if A) no convention about chapters
starting on odd or even pages
OR
B)LYX started chapters on even pages if it had to have a convention about this
OR
C) If I had some code I could enter in the document to change the Chapter
start convention on the fly


  Third, you can make changes so chapters will start on either odd or even
pages, but that's not standard for the types of books LaTeX and LyX were
designed to handle. Yes, novels will start chapters anywhere they want --
even in the middle of the page -- but that's not typographic convention for
a book.

  Fourth, if you want to get the maximum from LyX you'll need to learn
LaTeX. Whether you'll enter it in the unfortunately-named ERT, or in the
preamble, or you want to know how to change the appearance of your document,
you need LaTeX. Two recommendations: Guide to LaTeX, 4th Edition and The
LaTeX Companion, 2nd Edition.


The simplest would be if I could enter code so that all odd number pages are
set to have binding space on the left instead of right I can then work around
all other problems


  You can do this, but your book will look very odd when you're done. I've
seen books like that: the text area is pushed to the outer edges of the
pages with a huge white space on either side of the binding. Very
amateurish, IMNSHO.

Finally I solved this as follows:

In the preamble of the document in LyX I typed:

\usepackage{nomencl}
\makeglossary

Then, in the document where I wanted the Nomenclature I typed:

\printglossary

After this I exported the document into LaTeX format. Then, after closing LyX, at 
console I typed:

pdflatex filename.tex 
pdflatex filename.tex 

This created the filename.glo file. Then, at console I typed

makeindex filename.glo -s nomencl.ist -o filename.gls 

This created the glossary file filename.gls. Then, I opened the document in LyX. Then 
I exported the document to pdf format. Nomenclature came perfectly!

A simple wrapper script can handle this.
An existing one is tex2pdf, but it produces pdf using pdflatex.

the problem is that the building of the glossary needs a call to makeindex to 
build a .gls file from the .glo file which is created by the first call to 
latex.

I don't know is there is a way to explain to lyx how to automatically use the 
command sequence: latex -> makeindex -> latex as it is done for the classical 
index.

what can be done is of course to export to latex and build the pdf file 
manually...

I know I should type \usepackage{nomencl} in the preamble and then I should follow the 
instructions given in the nomencl documentation. I have done this. But when I create 
the final pdf file using pdftex in LyX 1.3.3 I am not seeing the Nomenclature list. I

thanks for your patience.

It looks better now, but when I have long title's for a chapter name it does this:

Hoofdstuk I Very long chapter titel is
here and 
looks a bit
ugly.   10

While I want this:

Hoofdstuk I This very long chapter title
looks better this way.  10

Any ideas, anyone?

You could put

 \chapter[\hbox to 5cm{Hoofdstuk I\hfil}Name1]{Hoofdstuk I Name1}

in ERT instead of the usual "Chapter" layout.

Not nice, but should work.

(A)
I have used the information on www.lyx.org/help/...  it works. In detail, in
the
preamble:
\renewcommand{\@cite}[2]{{#1\if@tempswa , #2\fi}}
\renewcommand{\@biblabel}[1]{}


(B)
On that page it is also suggested to in the preamble:
\usepackage{cite}
\citeleft{}
\citeright{}
However, I have not yet try it.

So I am going to try both what you advise and the aforementioned (B), even
if what I have got, (A), it seems to me working fine.

Well, this is probably the best advice for beginners, but it
introduce huge gap between title and body of text. The better
advice is to look in the article.cls (or scrartcl.cls, or
something else -- the class of document you use), find definition
of \maketitle, and then redefine it without date. It is not so
bad as you would expect it to be. For example for scrartcl
('article [Koma-Script]' in Layout/Document dialog box), the new
command to be add to Layout/LaTeX preamble is just:

\def\@maketitle{%
\clearpage
\let\footnote\thanks
\begin{center}%
{\sectfont\huge \@title \par}%
  \end{center}%
  \par
  \vskip 2em}

(you may reconsider what kind of size you want for the title --
default \huge is probably inappropriate for just simple document;
either delete \huge at all, or use something smaller like \large)

Happy LyXing!

The first option there (to write \date{}) is the correct one.
Note the help page doesn't tell you where to put it.
You either need to put it in the preamble, or put it inside the document in
LaTeX mode, before the title.

The second option (to put ctrl+space in the date style) is wrong because it
will put too much space between the title and the body of the document.

If I understand correctly, what you need to do is to add
  \usepackage{natbib}
to the preamble, and use plainnat as the bibliography style.
The other solutions given to you were wrong.

try this in latex preamble:
\renewcommand\@makefnmark{}

It might be best just to write "References" (or whatever word you use) and
mark it as "Section*" style, for example. Ie. you wouldn't use LyX/LaTeX
bibliography style at all.

>reach my purpose, How can I insert the { and } for the latex command in the

By pressing the keys that produce { or } characters. On my keyboard,
AltGr+7 or AltGr+0.

>that I need such parenthesis {} also in the main document for inserting some

The same for main document, but then you have also mark them as TeX style
(they'll show up as red).

>For example how can I insert there  /usepackage[bla,bla]{bla,bla} ?

You write that exactly as it is (and use \ instead of /, by the way).
Nothing more is necessary for preamble, for main document you also need
to select the command (eg. paint it as cyan with mouse) and press the TeX
button in the tool bar (again with mouse).

>3) I then have to introduce a biographical footnote. But I suppose, for

I don't know, but try reading
http://www.lyx.org/help/footnotes.html
maybe you can find help there.

>4) When I insert the title and the author name it is automatically added
>also the date. I don't want it. How can I delete it?

Press Ctrl-Space which will produce an blue empty space, and set its style
as "Date" from the tool bar.

I mailed the same idea, but I checked here and found that
these commands didn't work (report class, plain bibtex style).
However the direct TeX instructions:
\hyphenpenalty=1\exhyphenpenalty=1\relax
taken fron the Companion work fine.
I supect that the bibliogrphy environment kills the sloppy
commands. Any clue ?

try \sloppy in latex preample for the whole text
or \begin{sloppypar}
... bla bla bla
\end{sloppypar}
