George, Daron, please note that memoir's \pagenote and \foottopagenote use in Lyx currently suffers from two problems:
1. a 2-paragraphs (or more) pagenote produced with Lyx 's footnote command and \foottopagenote will fail and produce a Latex error. One paragraph notes are okay. 2. similarly, a pagenote produced with Lyx's footnote command and \foottopagenote cannot contain \index commands unless they are "protected" (you need to insert a \protect command as ERT **immediately before** the \index command). Lars Madsen, the maintainer of memoir, is working on both issues (the first one is trivial, apparently, the second one less so). You may follow up the details of the copnversation we have been having on computer.text.tex: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.text.tex/browse_thread/thread/4793e5cfd369907f# Cheers, Stefano On Wed, Dec 8, 2010 at 12:33 AM, george legge <gandmle...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thank you Darren.
