If I use \sX as a short form of \mathcal{X}, then the .tex file will contain
\global\long\def\sX{\mathcal{X}} at the point where I define it (in the body,
although it could be moved manually to the preamble) and \sX in the formulas.

I have used macros for sets and matrices (set in boldface) in articles submitted
to journals (including INFORMS journals, and they're a bit picky) with no
problems. I don't know of a way to globally search and replace them in LyX
(maybe a forthcoming feature in LyX 2.0?), but it certainly could be done by
running the .tex file through a text editor (or sed if you are a Linux fan).

Someplace in the document body, click Insert Math Macro and a new

like (say \sX for a macro to write a set X in mathcal). There are two
blue insets, the first labeled 'TeX' (this is the LaTeX code for the
macro) and the second labeled 'LyX' (used only if you want the macro
to display differently in the GUI than the way the LaTeX code would
normally display -- I have never had the need to use it). In the TeX

This is sooo simple. And it works. Thanks for that!
