Could you elaborate on the best way to include a file of commonly-used math macros, in a way which is compatible with Lyx? I tend to use a lot of \DeclareMathOperator commands in the preamble, for example. I've avoided the Lyx macro stuff so far because it has seemed to me to be *too* document specific. I don't know if it actually is, but I haven't found that information in the preliminary searches I've conducted. Any general comments on the best way to organize and include preamble material in a way which is compatible with Lyx would also be appreciated.
