I would agree that a more LaTeX approach would be easiest, but I
usually find myself needing to add, or remove, an \overline{}
decoration, which is easier for me in the gooey fashion. The only
problem with using LaTeX directly is that LyX puts you in that box, and
you have to know to get out of it.
