At least for the immediate future. The big advantage of adding an "article (Memoir) is that you can easily convert between documents of the ~20 "article" classes. OTOH, with a "memoir (article)" class that uses chapters, you will get "invalid Style" for every chapter heading (because chapters are not supported in "normal" article classes). (The advantage of the additional chapter section level on top is, that it allows double-use of a document as stand-alone article + book|record chapter.) Günter

How about a "Memoir (article)" or "Article (memoir)" layout that does not
use a "chapter" style but starts the sectioning with "Section" (like
every other article class)?
(If required by the memoir class, it is still possible that the
"Section" style uses "LatexName chapter", "Subsection" uses "LatexName
section" and so forth.)

Ah, that's why I could not find it in the docs. I'll file an
enhancement bug then.
I can't be the only Lyx user who is discovering how convenient it is
to work with the memoir class for both books and articles.

No doubt it should be. Please feel free to file an enhancement bug.
Of course, the appearance in the PDF can be changed

Changing the layout for chapter
The layout file for the memoir class shows chapter headings as:
"Chapter" {Chapter Number} {newline}
Chapter Title
That is fine when memoir is used to typeset books, but it's very
annoying when used for articles (which it's perfectly capable of
doing).
So I want to change the layout accordingly. But I can't figure out
where, in the standard definition of the Chapter Style from
stdsections.inc, is the {newline} inserted:
Style Chapter
MarginStatic
Category Section
LabelString "Chapter \thechapter"
LabelStringAppendix "Appendix \thechapter"
LabelType Counter
LabelCounter chapter
TocLevel 0
LatexType Command
LatexName chapter
NeedProtect 1
NextNoIndent 1
ParSkip 0.4
TopSep4
BottomSep 0.8
ParSep0.8
Align Block
OptionalArgs 1
Font
Series Bold
SizeHuge
EndFont
HTMLTag h1
End
I thought removing the LabelString line would be enough. But it isn't:
it just removes the "Chapter" Label
Help is appreciated. Pointers to the proper customization manual
section are appreciated too. I could not find the information there.
Cheers,
Stefano
