Hi Philip, I tired your advice adding the following to classicthesis-preamble.sty:
\newcommand{\myTitleLine1}{Brassicaceae: from origin to recent days\xspace} \newcommand{\myTitleLine2}{Taxonomy, ecology and polulation studies\xspace} \newcommand{\myTitle}{\myTitleLine1 \myTitleLine2} Then I open the the Titlepage.lyx and I compile the Pdf but I got this error: LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}. Undefined control sequence. Undefined control sequence. I am probably doing something bad... but where???
