Hmm...
[jzitt@dhcp-140 jzitt]$ ls /usr/local/lyx/layouts/
ls: /usr/local/lyx/layouts/: No such file or directory

This is a variant on a book format, so I'm trying
cp /usr/share/lyx/layouts/book.layout ~/.lyx/layouts/mybook.layout

OK, adding styles to it, such as
Style score1
CopyStyle Paragraph
LatexType Environment
LatexName score1
Margin Static
LeftMargin "MM"
Align left

OK, so now I've saved that, and created a document using that as the
document layout. Things are displaying OK onscreen... but
generating the DVI I get an error for each component, saying that
in each case it's doing a \begin{score0} (for example), and that
style is not found.
It strikes me that, following these directions, I don't see how it
will notice the file containing the actual latex environments.
I *think* I'm getting closer...

Still puzzling...

Actually, much of the book is strictly formatted, requiring the
styles that I'm trying to use. Writing without those formats would
be akin to writing a conventional music book without notes and
staves -- possible, but far from efficient.
