OK, my search for "longtable landscape portrait" did not hit this entry... I
did it like
\usepackage{lscape}
\begin{landscape}
\end{landscape}
and it worked out!

I do not want to waste half a page because just right at that position the
table is in the source file. I'd rather prefer the text continuing until the
end of the page, the table follows on the subsequent pages. Of course, the
landscape table and the regular text cannot be mixed on a page.

Thanks! I tried that before, but it did not work because the caption was on top
instead of at the bottom. However, according to your hint in
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg49820.html I added an
extra line at the bottom, inserted an ERT "\caption{text}%" in the first field
and an ERT "%" in the others -- worked out!

aha... I see the point -- thanks for the example!
