Ok. That did it. Guess I am too menu oriented.

Thanks to Jan for pointing out that within the insert citations dialog
box there is a place that toggles the citation style and there I can
choose the style that I need. I hadn't noticed that yet and was making
the problem much more complicated than necessary! ;-)
Thanks again.

natbib and elsart-harv.bst citation formatting problem
Greetings and thanks to everybody who has contributed to LyX. I have
been learning it for a few weeks as I write up an article for my
dissertation and I love it - it makes writing fun, unlike MS word which
made me pretty miserable.
My setup:
I am using LyX version 1.3.4.
I am using the article (elsevier) document class and I installed it by
creating /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/elsevier and put elsart12.sty,
elsart.cls, and elsart.sty in there - it wasn't clear to me which of
those files I needed but the article (elsevier) layout option showed up
in LyX after I ran texhash as root so I figured I was ok.
I put elsart-harv.bst in /usr/share/texmf/bibtex/bst/natbib.
Under Document Settings - Bibliography I have Use NatBib checked and
Cite Style: Author year.
In the Preamble I have only:
\usepackage{natbib}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\bibliographystyle{elsart-harv.bst}
My problem:
Under the above conditions, when I make a .dvi, I get:
... the relationships of 53 species Blaxter et al. [2].
whereas I need:
... the relationships of 53 species (Blaxter et al., 1998)
I have tried adding \citestyle{authoryear} to the preamble and I get:
... the relationships of 53 species Blaxter et al. (1998)
I thought that the elsart-harv.bst should force the format which I am
looking for - am I not actually using elsart-harv.bst then? Should I
use a different \citestyle{}, or does that override the elsart-harv.bst
that I'm trying to use?
Thanks very much for any suggestions, I've googled this to death with no
solution.

you do not need multicols when only switching between
two- and onecolumn mode with starting on a new page.

for one page try \thispagestyle{headings} or \pagestyle{headings}
for all following pages.

A big formatting problem
Hello all,
I really appreciate all the help I have received on this list. I am in
the final stages of my senior paper, and so far, I haven't had to use
Word. However, my prof continues to challenge Lyx's formatting
capabilities by adding requirements for my paper. So far, this is what
I have configured:
A table of contents, with no page number, on its own page and the Tex
is:
\thispagestyle{empty}\setcounter{page}{0}\newpage
\mymulticols{2}{1cm}
A two-column paper, single space, using the Article layout and the Tex
before the bibliography is:
\mymulticolsoff
\newpage
A bibliography on its own page (this doesn't show up on the TOC for some
reason)
Now, what I need to add are two Appendix pages, before the bibliography,
one with text, the other with pictures that are referenced by my paper.
These don't need to be in two-column format, but they have to be on
separate pages, and the page numbers, like the Bibliography, do not show
up on the TOC. I will need them to do so. I have the following
Preamble:
\usepackage{multicol}
\newcommand\myColumnSep[1]{%
\setlength{\columnsep}{#1}}
\newcommand\mymulticols[2]{%
\myColumnSep{#2}\begin{multicols}{#1}%
}
\newcommand\multicolsoff{\end{multicols}}
This worked great, but no page number for the bibliography. Now with
the additional requirements, I am stuck. I appreciate any help I can
get with this. Thank you.

Newbie formatting problem
I'm working on a book of performance scores, many of which are in a format that uses sort of python-like indenting: Someone sings the beginning of a syllable at any pitch at any volume starting with any consonant or combination of consonants followed by a sustained vowel sound. If you are singing, you may end your syllable at any time. If someone else is singing, do not change from the vowel that you have been singing. If no one else is singing, you may end your syllable with any consonant or consonants. Is there a good way to do this in LyX without having to put the text into a fixed-width font?
