Include a table of contents and a table of figures, include several equations and images (referenced using labels), and citations with a BibTeX bibliography. That will probably really help. Since you are working on the scrollbar project, my suggestion is to also be sure to add several insets to the document. One option is to add an ERT inset and fill it with text (beyond the length of the screen). Another is to add a large figure with multiple sub-figures so that it extends beyond the screen in all directions. When I do this, it suggests to me that what LyX could use is not merely a global horizontal scrollbar to go with the existing vertical one, but also inset-specific scrollbars. Take a large horizontal table, for example. Ideally, I think the table width would be limited to some fraction of the screen width, and would have a horizontal scrollbar that appears within the inset (my tables usually live inside insets). I also think it would be extremely useful to have a vertical scrollbar within an inset that is very tall. For example, I sometimes use ERT to insert a tikz diagram. I wish I could scroll vertically through the entire document without having to scroll through multiple screens full of ERT. Of course, I can collapse the inset, and often do. Another thing this would help solve for me is the frustration when trying to select all the text within the inset. If I accidentally scroll one line too far, I have to scroll back to the top of the inset and try again. This would be much easier to manage if an inset were never larger than one screen. Please understand that these are just ideas and opinions from a user's perspective. Of course, you and the project mentor(s) will have to determine whether or not to take on any of these other issues, but from my (possibly naïve) point of view, it seems like once you get the scrollbar code working, making it inset-specific would be both straightforward and desirable (if done in a modular way).
