Dear Scott, First let me apologize for any apparent disrespect for the LyX developers. For me, LyX has been a godsend compared to pure Latex. I am constantly amazed at the ever increasing quality of LyX. I think I have even donated $ to the LyX effort. My hat is off to you guys and gals developing Lyx!
In my bug report, I accidentally copied part of an email sent to an editor at Springer, with the intent of getting Springer involved with LyX. All Springer provides right now is the svmono class for pure Latex, which seems pretty archaic. The rest of my email extolled the virtues of LyX. I am hoping I can get Springer to take LyX seriously and include LyX info in their instructions to authors. I have used Lyx for about 10 years and I cannot imagine why any author would use pure Latex when LyX is available. I am somewhat of a digital dinosaur, so I don't know if I can provide any further info of use. I am using LyX 2.1.3 on Mac OS 10.8.5. However, as you noted I first complained two years ago, so I don't think the problem is connected to the LyX version or the OS. My amateur guess is that the svmono layout does not count the sections correctly. I contacted the person who wrote the layout and he said he had the same problem that I do (go figure). I don't know why I did not follow up 2 years ago when I got a reply from a LyX developer. I think I was embroiled in finishing up a contributed book chapter and just let it slide. Now I am getting to the point in my own book where having svmono work correctly is starting to be important. Right now, I compose using the book class Memoir and then switch to svmono to print the pdf. Springer has some particular format requirements and I don't want to have to go back later and correct things by hand. I will fall all over myself to help with fixing the bug. Just let me know what you want me to do. Again, I sincerely apologize for any apparent disrespect.
