Re: tensind package incompatible with LyX?
You can try to use extra {}, but I doubt this will work.

Thanks for the hint. It does work, in fact. One can add an empty group {} in
front of
every index, and the mathed display is nice, too. It is still more typing than
in raw
LaTeX, though. I posted a small page on the LyX wiki.

In LaTeX this works great: after defining a special tensor delimiter

?A^\mu_\nu? for northwest, southeast indices and ?A_\mu^\nu? for
southwest, northeast indices following the tensor symbol A.
Here, the order of super- and subscript matters! LyX seems to REORDER
the super- and subscript in such a way that always the subscript comes
first.
Right. It considers them a unit and will output subscript first.
Also, within tensind, ?g_\mu_\nu? is perfectly acceptable, and has a
different meaning (and typeset result) than ?g_{\mu\nu}? Within LyX,
one always gets the latter form due to automatic grouping in the math
editor
Is there a workaround?
Not really. tensind seems to change the TeX meaning of _. While this is
legal, LyX interprets _ and ^ according to its own ruls which are more
or less the standard TeX rules.

tensind package incompatible with LyX?
Hi all,

You know how to type this in latex, therefore, there is a workaround:
Type your tensor stuff in an ERT box, as raw latex. (Instead
of using mathed for it). Non-tensor math can still go in the math
editor of course.
Consider filing a wishlist bug at bugzilla.lyx.org, perhaps someone
pick this up and fixes it some day. (Likely not right now, lyx
is in a feature freeze before version 1.5.0)

tensind package incompatible with LyX?
Hi all,
I am trying to use the package "tensind.sty" for typesetting tensors with
multiple

In LaTeX this works great: after defining a special "tensor delimiter" in the

?A^\mu_\nu? for northwest, southeast indices and
?A_\mu^\nu? for southwest, northeast indices following the tensor symbol A.
Here, the order of super- and subscript matters! LyX seems to REORDER the
