paragraph groups, empty lines

[Vinay Ramnath]

Hi LyX users,

in Rapportagetechniek (reporting technique, ISBN 90-01-29137-6) they 
tell me to group coherent paragraphs. Some paragraphs have more to do 
with another than others. Those you have to group, that is, use no empty 
space between them, but ident each new paragraph in that group. You 
separate those from others with empty space and of course the new line 
after this empty space had no ident.

Currently, I can choose to either have an empty line every time I press 
enter, or I have an ident every new line and of course no empty line, 
but I can not get both in the same document without adding a header.
  Does LaTeX not support the kind of typesetting they taught me, or can 
I modify something in LyX? What I would like to do, is to be able to 
give a double enter, which should give me a empty line, but currently 
does the same as giving only one enter.

I don't know for sure, but I suppose KLyX did do this. I'm not sure 
however, 'cause I don't have it anymore. Now, I use LyX 1.2.1 under SuSE 
8.0 with the teTeX package that came with SuSE.

Thanks a lot,
Vinay

LyX files for use with the Songbook style

[Christian Ridderström]

Hi

For those of you interested in writing music, i.e. lyrics and chords, you 
might be interested in the .layout-file I've created for using the LaTeX 
Songbook style together with LyX.

See http://www.md.kth.se/~chr/lyx/songbook for the layout files etc, and 
see http://rath.ca/Misc/Songbook/index.shtml for the Songbook package.

With this package and layout files, you can easily put chords above 
text, and it will be shown in a nice way in both LyX and the output. 
For an example, see the screenshot
http://www.md.kth.se/~chr/lyx/songbook/example/screenshot_big.png
and the corresponding .pdf and .dvi-outputs:
http://www.md.kth.se/~chr/lyx/songbook/example/example.dvi
http://www.md.kth.se/~chr/lyx/songbook/example/example.pdf

Merry Christmas

Re: Doublespacing in elsart.layout

[Paul A. Rubin]

On reconsideration, I think the answer is to convince Elsevier to use 
setspace for line spacing (or at least write their class to be compatible 
with setspace).  I can use elsart.cls by telling LyX to single space and 
then adding doublespacing as an extra class option.  That's a pain to 
remember, and it doubles spaces all sorts of things (like footnotes) that 
really ought remain single spaced.

As far as \corauthor, \corauthorref and \ead, the last should be easy (it 
works like \address), but the other two might be tricky.  \corauthorref 
works like a label, and \corauthor works a bit like a citation (the 
format is \corauthor[ref]{stuff}, where 'ref' is defined by a 
\corauthorref{ref} appearing inside a \author{}.  Does anybody know if 
this is doable within a layout file (without structural changes to LyX 
itself)?

 Hi,
 
 I ran into a problem using elsart.layout (with elsart.cls).  If I opt
 for doublespacing, LaTeX bombs processing the \doublespacing command
 in the preamble (immediately following the load of setspace.sty).  It
 must be something specific to elsart.cls, since double spacing works
 with any other class. (It's not a LyX problem -- same thing happens
 working directly with LaTeX.)
 
 There's an easy work-around in LaTeX:  elsart.cls lets you specify 
 doublespacing as an option in \documentclass (which obviates the need
 to load setspace).  The question is, can elsart.layout be modified to
 do that? I tried editing it, putting in a NoStyle setspace directive,
 but setspace still got loaded (and LaTeX still blew up).  I'm probably
 a bit too dense to handle the online help for layout files in any
 case. 
 
 Any suggestions?
 
 On the wish list:  elsart.cls has commands \corauthor, \corauthorref
 and \ead for sticking author address/email in formation in the
 frontmatter.  It would be nice if those could be implemented in LyX.

Then, set up a separate 2-column section for the rest of the text
ERT before rest of text (usually the abstract):
\begin{multicols}{2}
ERT at the very last line of your lyx document:

I used this for a two-column paper with three authors that had to be entered 
in 3 centre-aligned columns. If the authors all have the same affiliation, 
you may want to put that info between the first \end{multicols} and second

lyx 1.2.2 chokes making PDF

[Pedro Tejedor]

Hello, lyx-users,

I have recently upgraded to lyx 1.2.2. Everything worked smoothly, 
except for some files, buried deep in the subdirectories tree, and with 
long filenames for figures (eps type). LyX fails miserably in converting 
some of those graphic files. Changing their name to a shorter one 
helped, though. Looks like the name of the intermediate eps file created 
by lyx to make the conversion (including the path) cannot exceed a 
number of chars.

This is the report of the file that produced the error:

/tmp/lyx_tmpdir55201gwjYe/lyx_tmpbuf0/_home_tejedor_tesis_Redaccion_cap2_figurascap2_redesFuzzyAdditive_Neofuzzy_rep.epsPS

The original name of the graphic file was

redesFuzzyAdditive_Neofuzzy_rep.eps. Changing the name to
FuzzyAdditive_Neofuzzy.eps fixed the problem.

The problem is, I don't have a real control over the length of the name 
produced by lyx. I can always choose shorter names for my new figures, 
but it is annoying not to know if the older files are going to produce 
correct PDF.

BTW, no problem producing postscript output.

And my question is: Is it true that it is a matter of the length of the 
name? Is there a way to avoid it?

TIA and Happy New Year,

Pedro

Re: can lyx print with CUPS?

[Peter Christensen]

from Les Denham:
 Do you have xpp? (X Printing Panel).  If so, just put xpp as the spool
 command.

I installed xpp, and I think it has helped to narrow down the problem.  Now 
when I print, the xpp window pops up and I get only part of the file name in 
the space where file name should appear.  

For example, if I want to print /home/peter/test.ps I click on the print 
button and the Lyx print box pops up.  Here the file name to be printed is 
shown as /home/peter/test.ps  When I click on OK the X Printing Panel box 
appears and the file name has been reduced to test.ps  If I type in the 
full name (adding /home/peter) it prints OK.  If I leave it as it is I get 
the following message:  Unable to print file 'test.ps' - 
client-error-not-found

It sounds like I need to set an option somewhere to pass the full file name.  
But I can't find where to set this option.  

Thanks,
Peter Christensen

Let's try some testing:

If these tests fail, you have something wrong with CUPS. Make it

Hi Christina,

The standard way of inserting two authors is to select the author layout and
type:

Author1 ctrl+enter
Address of author1
\and (in latex mode)
Author2 ctrl+enter
Address of author2

This won't center the names in the two column as you want.
Inserting the following code to the preamble will do that:

Right now, I am trying to force first line indentation for first paragraphs and 
also to learn more about changing fonts.  Probably further reading of the

will help much with the first line indentation of first paragraphs.

Any suggestions about either of these topics would be greatly appreciated.

/tmp/lyx_tmpdir55201gwjYe/lyx_tmpbuf0/_home_tejedor_tesis_Redaccion_cap2_figurascap2_redesFuzzyAdditive_Neofuzzy_rep.epsPS

The original name of the graphic file was

redesFuzzyAdditive_Neofuzzy_rep.eps. Changing the name to
FuzzyAdditive_Neofuzzy.eps fixed the problem.

The problem is, I don't have a real control over the length of the name 
produced by lyx. I can always choose shorter names for my new figures, 
but it is annoying not to know if the older files are going to produce 
correct PDF.

BTW, no problem producing postscript output.

And my question is: Is it true that it is a matter of the length of the 
name? Is there a way to avoid it?

TIA and Happy New Year,

Re: can lyx print with CUPS?

from Les Denham:
 Do you have xpp? (X Printing Panel).  If so, just put xpp as the spool
 command.

I installed xpp, and I think it has helped to narrow down the problem.  Now 
when I print, the xpp window pops up and I get only part of the file name in 
the space where file name should appear.  

For example, if I want to print /home/peter/test.ps I click on the print 
button and the Lyx print box pops up.  Here the file name to be printed is 
shown as /home/peter/test.ps  When I click on OK the X Printing Panel box 
appears and the file name has been reduced to test.ps  If I type in the 
full name (adding /home/peter) it prints OK.  If I leave it as it is I get 
the following message:  Unable to print file 'test.ps' -

It sounds like I need to set an option somewhere to pass the full file name.

 There's an easy work-around in LaTeX:  elsart.cls lets you specify

Beginer Questions (fwd)

I'm new to this list and new to lyx.  I just got started and went through the 
tutorial and part of the user guide.  I'm looking forward to getting to know Lyx 
better.

Right now, I am trying to force first line indentation for first paragraphs and 
also to learn more about changing fonts.  Probably further reading of the 
documentation will help with the fonts.  It doesn't look like the documentation 
will help much with the first line indentation of first paragraphs.

Any suggestions about either of these topics would be greatly appreciated.

paragraph groups, empty lines

[Vinay Ramnath]

Hi LyX users,

in "Rapportagetechniek" (reporting technique, ISBN 90-01-29137-6) they 
tell me to group coherent paragraphs. Some paragraphs have more to do 
with another than others. Those you have to group, that is, use no empty 
space between them, but ident each new paragraph in that group. You 
separate those from others with empty space and of course the new line 
after this empty space had no ident.

Currently, I can choose to either have an empty line every time I press 
enter, or I have an ident every new line and of course no empty line, 
but I can not get both in the same document without adding a header.
  Does LaTeX not support the kind of typesetting they taught me, or can 
I modify something in LyX? What I would like to do, is to be able to 
give a double enter, which should give me a empty line, but currently 
does the same as giving only one enter.

I don't know for sure, but I suppose KLyX did do this. I'm not sure 
however, 'cause I don't have it anymore. Now, I use LyX 1.2.1 under SuSE 
8.0 with the teTeX package that came with SuSE.

Thanks a lot,

LyX files for use with the Songbook style

[Christian Ridderström]

Hi

For those of you interested in writing music, i.e. lyrics and chords, you 
might be interested in the .layout-file I've created for using the LaTeX 
Songbook style together with LyX.

See http://www.md.kth.se/~chr/lyx/songbook for the layout files etc, and 
see http://rath.ca/Misc/Songbook/index.shtml for the Songbook package.

With this package and layout files, you can easily put chords above 
text, and it will be shown in a nice way in both LyX and the output. 
For an example, see the screenshot
http://www.md.kth.se/~chr/lyx/songbook/example/screenshot_big.png
and the corresponding .pdf and .dvi-outputs:
http://www.md.kth.se/~chr/lyx/songbook/example/example.dvi

Re: Doublespacing in elsart.layout

[Paul A. Rubin]

On reconsideration, I think the answer is to convince Elsevier to use 
setspace for line spacing (or at least write their class to be compatible 
with setspace).  I can use elsart.cls by telling LyX to single space and 
then adding "doublespacing" as an extra class option.  That's a pain to 
remember, and it doubles spaces all sorts of things (like footnotes) that 
really ought remain single spaced.

As far as \corauthor, \corauthorref and \ead, the last should be easy (it 
works like \address), but the other two might be tricky.  \corauthorref 
works like a label, and \corauthor works a bit like a citation (the 
format is \corauthor[ref]{stuff}, where 'ref' is defined by a 
\corauthorref{ref} appearing inside a \author{}.  Does anybody know if 
this is doable within a layout file (without structural changes to LyX 
itself)?

unofficial 1.2.2 deb packages

[Paolo Pumilia]

I have just packaged, for personal use, the latest lyx release 1.2.2
on i686 hardware platform and debian/unstable system

There are two versions, depending on the libc6 and xforms:

  http://linfe.it/OpenLab/DebianPackages/unstable/contrib/lyx_1.2.2-1_i386.deb
  ( libc6 >= 2.3.1-1 and libforms1 are required ).

  
http://linfe.it/OpenLab/DebianPackages/unstable/contrib/lyx_1.2.2-1_i386-libc6-2.2.2.deb
  ( libc6 >= 2.2.2-2 and  libforms0.89 are required ).

These are my attempts to build deb packages; please let me know 
if you will find it useful.

This is how I fixed a similar problem:

Set document layout to _one_ column (Layout -> Document -> Document-tab: 
Page_cols: One).

Put in preample (Layout -> Latex_preamble):
\usepackage{multicol}

Set up a 2-column section for authors:
ERT before Authors (ctr-l):
\begin{multicols}{2}
ERT after Authors:
\end{multicols}

Do not use Authors style. Enter author's details in Standard style, set to 
centre aligned (Layout -> Paragraph). Format style manually (Layout -> 
Character). Use one paragraph per author, with protected newlines within each 
if needed (ctrl-, e.g., to put author and their address on separate 
lines). When using 'Authors' paragraph style, centre alignment does not work 
(at least it hasn't worked for me). Limitations: the two paragraphs for the 
two authors should have the same number of lines, otherwise one of your 
paragraphs will be split btw. the 2 cols. Solution: put dummy lines in the 
shorter paragraph, using protected newlines and spaces (ctrl- followed 
by ctrl-).

Then, set up a separate 2-column section for the rest of the text
ERT before rest of text (usually the abstract):
\begin{multicols}{2}
ERT at the very last line of your lyx document:
\end{multicols}

I used this for a two-column paper with three authors that had to be entered 
in 3 centre-aligned columns. If the authors all have the same affiliation, 
you may want to put that info between the first \end{multicols} and second 
\begin{multicols}{2}.

Hope this helps.

lyx 1.2.2 chokes making PDF

[Pedro Tejedor]

Hello, lyx-users,

I have recently upgraded to lyx 1.2.2. Everything worked smoothly, 
except for some files, buried deep in the subdirectories tree, and with 
long filenames for figures (eps type). LyX fails miserably in converting 
some of those graphic files. Changing their name to a shorter one 
helped, though. Looks like the name of the intermediate eps file created 
by lyx to make the conversion (including the path) cannot exceed a 
number of chars.

This is the report of the file that produced the error:

"/tmp/lyx_tmpdir55201gwjYe/lyx_tmpbuf0/_home_tejedor_tesis_Redaccion_cap2_figurascap2_redesFuzzyAdditive_Neofuzzy_rep.eps"

The original name of the graphic file was

"redesFuzzyAdditive_Neofuzzy_rep.eps". Changing the name to
"FuzzyAdditive_Neofuzzy.eps" fixed the problem.

The problem is, I don't have a real control over the length of the name 
produced by lyx. I can always choose shorter names for my new figures, 
but it is annoying not to know if the older files are going to produce 
correct PDF.

BTW, no problem producing postscript output.

And my question is: Is it true that it is a matter of the length of the 
name? Is there a way to avoid it?

TIA and Happy New Year,

Pedro

You can enter class options in the document dialog ("Extra options" field). 

Beginer Questions (fwd)

[Richard Lott]

I'm new to this list and new to lyx.  I just got started and went through the 
tutorial and part of the user guide.  I'm looking forward to getting to know Lyx 
better.

Right now, I am trying to force first line indentation for first paragraphs and 
also to learn more about changing fonts.  Probably further reading of the 
documentation will help with the fonts.  It doesn't look like the documentation 
will help much with the first line indentation of first paragraphs.

Any suggestions about either of these topics would be greatly appreciated.
