Thanks for the kind comments. I did wonder about importing the bib
files as LaTeX files so that commands like \textsc{blahblah} meant
blahblah was displayed as small caps in LyX, and correspondingly,
exporting as LaTeX so that the reverse happened, but it seemed *much*
more complicated: some formatting, like the small caps, to be
translated into LaTeX, some formatting, like the list environments
used for the overall display of the records, not to be translated into
LaTeX. A few thoughts of this kind convinced me that converting to and
from *text* rather than LaTeX was the way to go (i.e. was within my
technical competence).
Ok, but is still posible to do, perhaps in the future someone can.

If you mean having a blank record available like
@book{,
author = {},
title = {},
...
Yes this is what I meant
then you could create one in a yellow note (or a deactivated branch)
and simply copy and paste as required. In biblatex there are so many
possible fields that having a blank record containing all
possibilities would be a hindrance rather than a help. I found it
helpful to associate a shortcut key (Ctrl+=) with
Yes, there are many posibilities but there are also some of them that
are mandatory (author, title, year, for articles journal, for books
editor, and so on). I will try on yellow notes and I tell you later what
I get.
command-sequence self-insert = {},; char-left; char-left;
which inserts ={}, and puts the cursor between the braces, waiting for
stuff to be typed.
