Songbook?

Hello 


I am new to lyx and is using it to write reports and other documents with many math-formulas. Today I came over this songbook layout:  http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Songbook 
This would be a great tool and I could use lyx to something more than school. The problem is I cant get this to work. I am using lyx in windows 7 and not linux. 

Have tried the instructions but with no luck. Maybe I am doing something wrong but I cant seem to make a new songbook, or get the icon to show up. 
Do you know if this layout works? If it does, some tips for using this? 

Kind regards!

Weird X display

Since I tried to swich to a frame buffered graphical display, following all steps described in the
Framebuffer and Radeon pages of the gentoo wiki, all I get is a display of vertical colored stripes, the
pointer appearing as a square. 
Knowned problem ? where should I look in the arcane config of FB, X and radeon (my graphic card is an ATI 3600)?
I'm desperate.

Compile error File does not exist: /var/folders

I have just tried compile a file that I last compiled in October 2011, on Mac with Lion and Lyx 2.02, but may have originally been compiled on a  Mac with Snow leopard and Lyx 2.01.

I am getting the error

p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }

File does not exist: /var/folders/g3/h89z1g_n7yv3fth6y2yd2nlh0000gn/T/lyx_tmpdir.xJL756/lyx_tmpbuf0/R-GettingStarted.pdf


The file points to some screen grabs and has R code so it also uses Sweave.


I have just tried and the same file compiles fine on Ubnutu 11.10/lyx 2.0.0 (Ubuntu is running virtual box on the Mac so is pointing at the same file in the same directory as the Mac copy of Lyx is pointing at). So I can carry on, but I coud do with sorting out the problem with the Mac version of Lyx.


I see the same question was asked in December, but it didn't reach a conclusion.


Many thanks,


Graham

Problem with bibliography display

When using document class{revtex4-1}, I just simply cited one reference, but after viewing the output two other references appeared before the reference  I cited. They are like

"[1]
  [2]  08 (1). " with almost empty information. 

I  tried to look the errors using .tex file. It showed 

\bibitem{REVTEX41Control}

\bibitem{apsrev41Control}
08 (1).

I don't know what happened here since this does not happen in other document class.

Anyone can help me with this problem, thank you.

Greek pdf(LaTeX) bookmarks within from LyX

Salutations to LyX-users.

In tex.stackexchange [1] a working solution has been demonstrated by  
egreg on how to correctly print Greek (characters) as/in pdf(LaTeX)  
bookmarks. I recall a similar question of mine (and suggested solution  
from the hyperref developer) in this list [2] (which, for various  
reasons, I "forgot").

Now, egreg's solution does not work inside LyX. The reason is that the  
documentclass option "english" (in my work using the scrbook class)  
forces all characters to be converted in Greek.

The question is if it is possible (and reasonable) to tell LyX not to  
pass the "english" option to the documentclass definition?

Changing the lyxlist (labeling environment) formatting

I am using LyX 2.0.0 under Ubuntu 11.10. I'd like to globally change the format of the header in the labeling environments (aka. lyxlist in the exported TeX source), bsaically bolding the text and increasing the allocated indent.


I realise I can do this on a line-by-line basis, but this seems to defeat the purpose of using LyX in the first place. Is there something I can put in the preamble to make the change for the whole document?

Cheers,
Jason

small beef with LyX on the Mac

I have been irritated for quite a while now by the close/save file
dialog (Safe Discard Cancel which defaults to Save.

What I would like to see is one like the commonly used one, defaulting
to Save (by hitting Return) but also offering Discard (by hitting
Space), because most of the time I do not use the mouse for this...

Default setting for a program listing section

Hi,

Is it possible to set default parameters for "program listing" section
for a document?
I use the same settings for all the listings in given document and
currently I have to click it manually every time or copy-paste existing
listing (what is some workaround).

Regards
Marcin

automatique reference of sub figure

Hello,

I use the following preambule

\AtBeginDocument{\renewcommand{\ref}[1]{\mbox{\autoref{#1}}}}

to add the word « Figure » when referencing figure.

However, the word figure is not added when referencing sub-figure. For example it write 3a instead of Figure 3a.

Please, what to add in order to get the word Figure before number of fig

Thanks in advance,

errors typesetting UserGuide.lyx

I had been running MacTex 2009 and Lyx 1.6.8. and using them extensively for technical documentation and homework assignments.


I upgraded this morning to MacTex 2011 (using the Tex Live Utility to bring all the packages up to date) and Lyx 2.0.2.

I tried to create a pdf of the UserGuide (located in /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/doc/ - opens as read only)

Four eps files are generating 'Error converting to loadable format' in the LyX document. The LaTeX error dialog shows:

Package pdftex.def Error: File `34_Applications_LyX_app_Contents_Resources_doc_clipart_mobius.pdf}

Using draft setting for this image.

Try typing <return> to proceed.

If that doesn't work, type X <return> to quit.



- OR -


Package pdftex.def Error: File `42_Applications_LyX_app_Contents_Resources_doc_clipart_escher-lsd.pdf}}

\hfill{}\subfloat[\label{f...



So my system doesn't seem to be converting eps files correctly into pdfs for LyX to use. Any suggestions for troubleshooting? I've saved the complete LaTeX log, but it's huge and I'm not sure what's relevant.
