I don't think there's any way to do this, short of modifying your layout
file. I believe I filed an enhancement request on this very matter a
while back. You might want to file another one, just in case. Basically,
what one wants is a way to add optional arguments to environments. This
can actually be done with non-list environments already: Just just put
"[argument]" in ERT immediately after you invoke the environment. But it
won't work with lists, because the \item for the first item intervenes.
But there ought to be a neat way to do it, generally, anyway.
That said, the solution is to modify the layout file. I haven't tested
this, but something like the following ought to work:
Style Renumerate
Margin Static
LatexType Item_Environment
LatexName renumerate
NextNoIndent 1
LeftMargin MMN
LabelSep xx
ParSkip 0.0
ItemSep 0.2
TopSep 0.7
BottomSep 0.7
ParSep 0.3
Align Block
AlignPossible Block, Left
LabelType Enumerate
Preamble
\newenvironment{renumerate}{\begin{enumerate}[resume]}{\end{enumerate}}
EndPreamble
End
Basically, we're creating a new environment, renumerate, that is just
enumerate with the optional argument we want. Everything else is simply
stolen from the stdlists.inc definition for Enumerate. The counters in
LyX won't display appropriately, but they should be right when you compile.
