Re: LyXforJASA code for LyX? Back in 2006, Jean-Marc Lasgouttes discussed with me some LyX code I had developed for preparing manuscripts for the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (JASA). These files have been used successfully by me and independently by an ASA colleague for papers that have been or are scheduled for publication in JASA. Any bugs seem to have been worked out by now.
JASA accepts manuscripts using either superscript or author-year citations. The LyXforJASA package includes separate template and .bst files for these citation styles. The .layout and .bib files can be used by both. The .layout file provides for both single- and two-column versions of a manuscript. The current version of the package can be downloaded from my web site at the University of Hawaii, http://www2.hawaii.edu/~jcb/LyXforJASA/LyXforJASA.html . It includes an AuthorGuide for LyX 1.5.3 . The LyX files are compatible with LyX 1.5.6, and appear to be compatible with LyX 1.6.0rc3 . JASA authors are new to LyX, surprised at what it can do, and need hand-holding to change from what they have been using. My colleague, a LaTeX user, reports that using LyX relative to LaTeX code speeds up writing equations by a factor of 2. The AuthorGuide is intended to provide some hand-holding, not to replace LyX Help. I intend to update it to LyX 1.6 . Please let me know whether there is any interest in adding LyXforJASA files to LyX. If so, what modifications in the layout, template, .bst, and .bib files would be required?
