If you know in advance that a notation could potentially change, you could
use LyX's math macro facility. It's very nice and lets you have multiple
parameters which you enter in a visual way. You can even display one thing
in LyX and output a different thing in the LaTeX, which is useful for
simulating the appearance of LaTeX symbols that LyX doesn't know about.
Of course it's not always possible to know in advance, but this is just an
idea in case you're not aware of it.
