Is there a reason that the font size for the Part layout is not

There is a difference in size in both standard classes and KOMA
script classes. I know LyX is not WYSIWYG but shouldn't there be some
distinction in size anyway?
I was wrong.
The standard book layout might be fine. They fit the LaTeX output size
and are formatted as centered which makes them distinguishable. It
might be still be worth to format them in LyX with slightly larger
font size. But I guess that is optional.
The article sizes are definitely wrong. For example, the part* and
section* cannot be visually distinguished at all, see the attached
document. Since the article classes are based on the book classes, I
guess this was just a mistake when tweaking them.
The KOMA book classes actually use a slightly greater size for parts
which I would recommend adopting.
I could make a patch if that's desired.
Sure, go ahead.
Two patches attached.
article_sizes.diff: conservative in that it only corrects the article's
part font sizes, so that starred parts can be distinguished visually
from starred chapters in the work area.
sectioning_sizes.diff: more reversionary in that it matches font sizes
with their LaTeX equivalents.
Which is the better patch depends on what the reason for a difference to
LaTeX was. I am not sure what that reason might have been. Use less
space in the work area for headers?
My hunch is that the more moderate sizes of headings in LyX as compared
to LaTeX were on purpose. So, I'd suggest to only apply the conservative
"article_sizes.diff".
