Hi,
Excellent suggestion. However, it still has the disadvantage that no bib
references appear if one prints out a single chapter.
I am looking for some way to conditionally embed the bibliography into the
child documents. If used (printed) "stand alone", a child should have a
complete bibliography section. If embedded into the master, the
bibliographies of the children should be ignored.
I have been trying to achieve something like that for a couple of hours,
but failed - probably because of my lacking knowledge of fundamental LaTex
concepts. Here is the idea:
1) Define a variable \master in the preamble of the master document before
including the common preamble:
\def\master
\input{preamble.tex}
2) Define a new \ifnomaster in the common preamble that tests for \master
being defined or not
% common preamble, input'ed into all children and the master
\newif\ifnomaster
\ifx\master\undefined
\nomastertrue
\else
\nomasterfalse
\fi
3) Use ERT boxes to conditionally include the bibliography at the end of
each child:
??ERT[\ifnomaster]
[BibTeX Generated Bibliography]
ERT[\fi]
This fails so far, probably because my \newif and \def are erroneous.
(It is kind of funny: While there are many LaTeX books and online resources
that explain how to do fancy things using the xyz package, I always
struggle when I try to find a good documentation of such basic things.)
Please help :-)

However, if I use BibTeX references in my chapter documents, they don't

far
inserts a bibliography at the end of each chapter but the individual
bibliographies include all the references from the entire document (i.e.
from all of the chapters). Is there a way of achieving either
individual
bibliographies that only include the references cited in their own
chapters
or a single bibliography at the end of the master document?
AFAIK you need some extra packages for the first option, but the
second one
is easy. Don't include any bibliography in child documents, only include
one in the master.
If you want to enter a new citation in a child you need to open the child
from the master doc, otherwise LyX will not know which .bib file is used.
To make it easier to insert citatiosn (if you still need to), you can
insert a bibliography within each child document, but place it inside a
*comment*. That way LaTeX won't see it, but LyX will know what
.bib-files to scan for when showing you the available citations.
