How do I tell LyX that option X belongs to package Y? If I just put

Usually (not always, though), the packages inherit the options from the class,
so you can pass package options to packages via the class options. This is
only a problem if different packages have the same option name, but with
different semantics, and if a package refuses the inheritance.
For a more specific option handling, there's also
\PassOptionsToPackage{options}{package}
but this command must precede the \usepackage command.

Jürgen,
Thanks. Unfortunately, \PassOptionsToPackage does not work when I test
it. I'm not sure, but does that command have to be in a class or style
file (as opposed to the document preamble)?
I've located the problem, but not the solution. Simple global keywords
are indeed being passed to the package when I use \usepackage, but
unfortunately the package in question (mathdesign) also uses key=value
pairs, and those are apparently not passed from the global options to
the package. I searched around but found no help online, and the
obvious hacks (enclose them in double quotes or braces) accomplished
nothing.
Is there some sneaky way to say \documentclass[a=b,...]{someclass} and
have the 'a=b' passed as an option to \usepackage{somepackage}?
TIA,
Paul
