this has nothing to do with "normal use". In some cases users like to right \begin{align} right & =left & =right & & & \\ right & =left & =right & 1 & 2 & 6 \end{align} or \begin{align} right & =left & =right\\ right & =left & =right & 1 & 2 & 6 \end{align} which is exactly the same. Both are "normal use" ... Herbert -- http://www.lyx.org/help/
