Hi all,

Stefano was gracious enough to look at my LyX file directly. He discerned
after a good bit of discovery that the problem was two lines in the TeX
preamble:

\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage{english}


To remove them, I had to go to Tools→Preferences→Language Settings→Language.
I wiped the Command start field and changed the language package to None.
Apparently polyglossia and biblatex don't work together, but according to
this post (
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/119682/how-to-use-polyglossia-with-biblatex),
the development version of biblatex will fix this problem.

Once that was done, I needed to go to

\usepackage[style=authoryear,natbib=true,backend=biber]{biblatex}

and delete ,backend=biber in order to get the bibliography to display.


Hi Jason,

I am glad to hear your problem was solved. I don't quite understand
why the second step was necessary though.
In fact, removing "backend=biber" from the call to biblatex should
have no effect, since biblatex would then use the default backend,
which is indeed biber.
Moreover, in my tests on your file, everything compiled with the
offending "backend=biber" in place.
Would you mind trying restoring it and letting me know which kind of
errors you get?

Cheers,

Stefano



Upon restoration of that piece of code, the bibliography doesn't load when the file compiles. Moreover, the in-text citations remain unformatted.
