Re: letter (KOMA-Script v.2) Space between closing and

A picture being worth a thousand words, Figure 6.1 in the
scrguien.pdf is your friend.

   My reply follows:

Hello Jean-Marie,

   I have seen that diagram but again don't know how to work it. The
   different first commands like:

\@addtoplength
or
\@setplength or whatever.

Hi Charlie,

First, as my own copy of the guide is quite old (my figure 6.1 is now 
17.1), I updated it now from the last one dated 2012-05-15 which is here:

http://www.komascript.de/files/scrguien.pdf

So the page numbers I'm using now refer to this last version of the guide.
  


How does one understand these commands? How does one know which to use
where?


Read section 4.2 Pseudo-Lengths (page 135). With my words:
All these pseudo-lengths have a default value. If you want to change 
this default value and make it completly different you use \@setplength. 
If you want to slightly modify it, you use \@addtoplength.




I have attached the diagram you sent and added the commands that you
have helped me with in green and red.

I have also tried to make the signature on my letter template come to
the left of the page with these commands, none of which work:

\@setplength{sigindent}{\raggedleft} without success [...]
And many more, to numerous to mention here, but never the right one.


\@setplength{sigindent}{0mm}
will place the box containing the signature on the left side but this is 
already defined in the DIN.lco


It's probably worthwhile to make your own version of the DIN.lco that 
you are using. Copy it under a new name (myDIN.lco f.ex.) in the 
directory where you have your lyx letters and modify it as you wish:


Instead of using
\@addtoplength{firstheadvpos}{1cm}
after calling the original DIN.lco where this plength is set, you can 
replace inside your new lco the

\@setplength{firstheadvpos}{8mm}
by
\@setplength{firstheadvpos}{18mm}


Don't forget to call your lco file in the preamble:

\LoadLetterOption{myDIN}%



To place the signature inside the closing box on the left you have to 
change in your lco file

 \let\raggedsignature=\centering
to
\let\raggedsignature=\raggedright

Re: letter? Swiss Norm

Hi Hellmut,

Where do I find that file on a macintosh computer? I'm really new in using LyX, 
so I don't really know, where I find those things... Can you help me one more 
time?

You can use koma-letter2 with the SN letter option in the preamble

%% Load an *.lco style file (see KOMA documentation)
\LoadLetterOption{SN}%

May be I don't understand the question, but to add a bit more space 
above the address you only need to change the value 2mm (which is 
precisely the measure of the vertical space added to the predefined 
address position) to what you want it to be (2cm):

\...@addtoplength{toaddrvpos}{2cm}

Thank you Jean-Marie,

But what that does is add space below the address field in my

Thank you Jean-Marie,

But what that does is add space "below" the address field in my
experimentation up to 21cm.

Just tried it again to be certain and am not giving you false
information.

Thank you for your reply.

Be well,
Charlie

I must be on the wrong track then, and my apologies to Jean-Marie and
yourself.

It is the "Sender Name" that has my name and address so obviously I am
looking at the wrong thing?

So renew my question:

Debian Testing [Squeeze] Using LyX Version 1.6.5

Letter [KOMA - Script-v.2]

Which of the commands below affect the "Sender Name" field

%
%% Here you can modify the layout of your letter
%% Have a look at the KOMA script documentation
%% for details. Most commands are commented out
%% here (i.e. we use default settings)
%

%% Load an *.lco style file (see KOMA documentation)
%%\LoadLetterOption{DIN}%  

% vertical position of the address field
\...@addtoplength{toaddrvpos}{2mm}
% space between ref line and letter text
\...@setplength{refaftervskip}{1cm}

%% THE CLASS OPTIONS
%% Remove preceeding '%' to uncomment an item
\KOMAoptions{%
,headsepline=false%separate the header with a line on page
>1 ,footsepline=false% separate the footer with a line on
>page >1
%pagenumber=botcenter%   position of the page number (see docu)
%,parskip=false%  Use indent instead of skip (more options cf.
docu) ,fromalign=left%alignment of the address
,fromrule=aftername%separate the address with a line?
,fromphone=false% print sender phone number
%,fromfax=true%  print sender fax number
,fromemail=false%   print sender e-mail address
,fromurl=false%   print sender URL
%,fromlogo=true% print a logo (position depends on fromalign)
%,addrfield=false%print an address field?
%,backaddress=false%  print the back address?
%,subject=afteropening,titled% alternative subject layout and position
%,locfield=narrow%  width of the (extra) location field
,foldmarks=false%  print foldmarks?
%,numericaldate=true%  date layout
%,refline=wide% layout of the refline
}

%\setkomavar{backaddressseparator}{ $\cdot$ }
\setkomavar{emailseparator}{}
%\setkomavar{enclseparator}{ > }
%\setkomavar{faxseparator}{ --> }
%\setkomavar{phoneseparator}{ --> }
%\setkomavar{subjectseparator}{ >>> }

%% Customize fonts
%% Use LaTeX's standard font commands
%% Modify with \setkomafont or \addtokomafont
%% (see KOMA documentation)
%\setkomafont{backaddress}{\rmfamily}
%\setkomafont{descriptionlabel}{}
\setkomafont{fromaddress}{\small}
\setkomafont{fromname}{\bf}
%\setkomafont{pagefoot}{utopia}
%\setkomafont{pagehead}{}
%\setkomafont{pagenumber}{}
%\setkomafont{subject}{}
%\setkomafont{title}{}

Creating a larger space above the "Sender Name" does not work by using
->Document Settings->Page Margins

Apologies for any confusion. Thanks in advance,
Charlie

If you look at the manual scrguien.pdf everything you need is visible in 
figure 6.1: "Schematic of letter paper's pseudo lengths". The pseudo 
length for Sender Name vertical position is called "firstheadvpos". To 
adjust it you can add in the preamble:


\...@addtoplength{firstheadvpos}{2cm}

You can also create your own "lco" parameter file (derived from the 
DIN.lco you are using) to suit your needs.

Just make sure that the Koma-script options list does not start with a 
comma. Hereunder is a part of the Latex preamble of Koma-script letter2 
template for an old Lyx version (1.4.2):

...
%% THE CLASS OPTIONS
%% Remove preceeding '%' to uncomment an item
\KOMAoptions{%
%,headsepline=true%separate the header with a line on page 1
%,footsepline=true% separate the footer with a line on page 1
%pagenumber=botcenter%   position of the page number (see docu)
%,parskip=false%  Use indent instead of skip (more options cf. docu)
,fromalign=center%alignment of the address
,fromrule=aftername%separate the address with a line?
,fromphone=true% print sender phone number
%,fromfax=true%  print sender fax number
,fromemail=true%   print sender e-mail address
,fromurl=true%   print sender URL
%,fromlogo=true% print a logo (position depends on fromalign)
%,addrfield=false%print an address field?
%,backaddress=false%  print the back address?
%,subject=afteropening,titled% alternative subject layout and position
%,locfield=narrow%  width of the (extra) location field
%,foldmarks=false%  print foldmarks?
%,numericaldate=true%  date layout
%,refline=wide% layout of the refline
}

You will notice that the first uncommented option 
(,fromalign=center%...) starts with a comma). If you try to use this 
template with a more recent Lyx version (in fact a more recent 
Koma-script version) you will get this error:


You have used \KOMAoptions to set `',
but KOMA-Script does not know any option named `'.
See the KOMA-Script manual for more informations about options and
their values.


The solution is to edit the Latex preamble (Menu Document-Parameters 
then Latex preamble) so that the first option reads fromalign=center% 
without the preceding comma.


I understand from Uwe that the new templates for Koma-script letter2 no 
longer have this preceding comma. May be you still have an old template 
with a new version of Koma-script.

What should I do?
You should erase the starting comma in the options list of the Latex 
preamble (the one in front of footsepline=true). The new version of 
Koma-script scrlttr2 does not like it.

The Description of writing a letter (p. 50 in the german version of the

For instance if I try letter(DIN-Brief, German) I get an environment for
an adressee, but I am unable to write the complete adress with name,
street and town? That is also true for the simple letter environment. 


In the letter environment letter(KOMA-Script) I found Name and Town, no
street? May be the adress-supplement will work? 


In any case in trying to compile such adress-experiments I get a

is also true if I add a letter text. That will not be shown in the

Is there any description how to make letters with lyx?

Try out filenew from template (in your case: Datei neu von Vorlage) 
and then any of the templates containing brief or letter... e.g. 
dinbrief.lyx...

There should be enough explanation in those...

1. in /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/tex/latex/koma-script/

which seems outdatet, BUT
2. in home ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/koma-script/scrartcl.cls
- that says:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]/12/24 v2.98 KOMA-Script}%

You can add \listfiles to the preamble, then the version numbers  
will appear

at the end of you LaTeX log file.


== Result: the first entries are:
scrlttr2.cls2007/12/24 v2.98 KOMA-Script document class (letter)
scrkbase.sty2007/12/24 v2.98 KOMA-Script package (basics and  
keyval use)


So I hopefully suppose that LyX/LaTeX use(s) the newer v2.98 KOMA- 
Script version, but nevertheless my koma-letter2.lyx template does  
not run and should be corrected. It seems to me, that, in this  
template, Class Options mostly begin with a comma (,) - in order to  
get  the options - even after different out- and uncommenting by the  
user - within the \KOMAoptions{} command comma-seperated, but my  
given template

= in ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.5/templates/default
the first option (not commented out in the template) begins with a  
comma:

,fromalign=center% alignment of the address
and causes the latex-error.

As another workarround (after the first aid of Jürgen) I uncommented  
the pagenumber=... option two lines before in the template -  
interesting: the first one of the outcommented options without a  
comma before (because uncommenting it was the first intention of the  
template authors?)! -This gives anyway a good solution, because  
nevertheless the pagenumber will only be typesetted if the letter has  
more than one page (and then only beginning with page 2), and in that  
case it normally should be wanted by the author of a letter.


Now, also in LyX this part of my KOMA-letter2 template preamble looks  
like


%% THE CLASS OPTIONS
%% Remove preceeding '%' to uncomment an item
\KOMAoptions{%
%,headsepline=true% separate the header with a line on page 1
%,footsepline=true% separate the footer with a line on page 1
%pagenumber=botcenter% position of the page number (see docu)
%,parskip=false% Use indent instead of skip (more options cf. docu)
,fromalign=center% alignment of the address
,fromrule=aftername% separate the address with a line?
,fromphone=true% print sender phone number
%,fromfax=true% print sender fax number
%, and so on and so forth...
}

With this, the template works as it is (so that everytime I call it  
with file | new from template ... I am free to choose other options.


Bad luck: only after working on this answer I detected that in the  
KOMA-letter2.lyx template within the LyX-application packet (in: / 
Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/templates/
there is a functioning KOMA-letter2-template. pagenumber= is still  
commented out, but the first uncommented option (here: fromalign=)  
begins without comma. So, this template would work too. Might be that  
I, after upgrading LyX, had missed/failed to copy the templates newly  
into my home-template-folder. Perhaps I should test this with other  
disfunctioning lyx templates, too (when needed)...

 With some other templates I had similar error abruptions.

Which ones?

I could have sworn to have got the same or very similar message with  
otheer LyX-Templates, but this is not the case. But there are others  
such like:




The layout file requested by this document,
aa.layout,
is not usable. This is probably because a LaTeX
class or style file required by it is not
available.


also with agu-dtd.layout, docbook.layout, ijmpc.layout, ijmpd.layout,  
iopart.layout (iop-article), latex8.layout.


With g-brief.layout it is:
latex Error: Command \Telefon already defined. and

 \newcommand\Telefon{\mvchr{84}}
Your command was ignored.
Type I command return to replace it with another command,
or return to continue without it.


= But from LyX one cannot do that, even if one (not me) knew the  
right command.


Or, opening in Lyx, but when typesetted saying:
revtex.sty not found and:

\renewcommand
{\usepackage}{\RequirePackage}^^M
*** (cannot \read from terminal in nonstop modes)


I don't expect to get the explanation and solution for all these  
disfuntioning Lyx-Templates in my installation, and in case I want to  
use one of these templates I'll come back and ask specifically.


I have TexLive 2007 installed with MacTex, might be that LyX 1.5.6 is  
not exactly build and configured for that?

Yes, I'm using the one shipped with LyX.

I was using the signature but after opening. Nevertheless, after
moving the signature to the top I also get the same undefined control
