moving equations to left
My problem is that I have some wide equations on 2-column article, that
will be printed over the equation number on the right edge of the
column. If there's just one equation line, the AMSmath is clever enough to
move the equation number down that they don't overlap. But it doesn't do
this for multiline equations. How could I prevent the equation and its
number from overlapping?
I tried using
\addtolength{\parindent}{-3cm}
{\parbox[b]{\textwidth}{
..equation...
}\addtolength{\parindent}{3cm}
to move the equations a little bit left, but this doesn't seem to work
with two column paper.

Unfortunately, LyX currently doesn't have support for it, so you need to write the the formula using ERT (you can use math-macro to define parts of of the formula, and then use the defined macros in the ERT). However, I recently added to LyX support for the align environment, but the code is not yet in CVS. I can send you a patch if you are interested.

write your formulae as usual with lyx, than (with cursor
in this formula-line) do a
layout-paragraph-extra(1.1.6)-Indented Paragraph
and write in the field for example -1cm!
in lyx-screen the formua is indented with the positiv value
of 1cm (shigted to the right), but in dvi it's okay.

But this might cause an equation on the right column to overlap with the text

One thing that might help you is to put the lines below in the preamble.
It will decrease the space between the 3 column of an eqnarray in all
the eqnarrays in the document (and therefore, it will reduce (or eliminate)
the overlap between the formula and the number).
\let\oldeqnarray=\eqnarray

\newlength{\oldcolsep}
\setlength{\oldcolsep}{\arraycolsep}
\def\eqnarray{
\setlength{\arraycolsep}{1.5pt}
\def\array{\setlength{\arraycolsep}{\oldcolsep}\oldarray}
\oldeqnarray
