Why not use
cite_engine = p.getEngine();
in the code below?
+ // FIXME the class should also provide
+ // the numerical/ authoryear choce
+ if (p.getLyXTextClass().provides(LyXTextClass::natbib)
+ && p.cite_engine != biblio::ENGINE_NATBIB_NUMERICAL)
+ cite_engine = biblio::ENGINE_NATBIB_AUTHORYEAR;
+ else
+ cite_engine = p.cite_engine;Also, a "trick" could be to allow the value '2' for providenatbib, or add a new ProvideNumericalNatbib tag. JMarc
