> ThanksHi Matteo, What I do is for the Frontmatter, instead of relying on the document class's properties and then trying to defeat them when necessary (like putting the title in the middle), I use ERT and custom environments to construct the Frontmatter. It works out great, and I can put anything anywhere I want, quickly, with little muss and fuss. All you need is a little LaTeX knowledge. Note that for the Mainmatter, I do the opposite, and use almost no ERT, relying solely on environments and character styles.
