Hello,

I am using LyX with Natbib and Natbib style set to "Author-year" (under
"Document" -> "Settings" -> "Bibliography" -> "Citation Style").

If I use "Insert" -> "List / TOC" -> "BibTex Bibliography", and choose
"alpha" as the "Style", then I get results such as

[Tar56] Alfred Tarski. Logic, Semantics, Metamathematics....


This is all good except that I need it to abbreviate the first names; e.g.:

[Tar56] A. Tarski. Logic, Semantics, Metamathematics....


Apparently Natbib with abbrvnat should do this (?), but when I select
"abbrvnat" (instead of "alpha" above), I get an error: "Undefined control
sequence."

Your help is appreciated,
Mehrdad
