Well, Herbert, I'm glad you read this thread and now we seem to have tracked down the problem of running LaTeX too many times. Maybe the discussion now becomes OT on the news:comp.text.tex NG and we should move on the lyx-user list, therefore I'm posting a copy to that list, too. However, I looked now in the jobname.tex.dep file LyX generates, and of course, the ASCII file ("jobname.runcount") in which the run count is written out on every run is listed there, so I'm almost sure that's why LyX keeps running LaTeX actually 3 more unnecessary times. I don't know, there might be reasons why LyX has to behave that way, but in this case, where I'm using that file only to keep track of the run count for the LaTeX run itself (it has to apply 2up stuff only on the last run, otherwise TOC has "wrong" page numbers), it would be useful if one could somehow tell LyX to ignore a particular file from the dependencies point of view. Is this already achievable, by LyX means, or even on lower level? Lucian
