there are 7 different commands, for example one:
the lyx-format:
\begin_inset LatexCommand
\citealp[<\before>see<\end_before><\after>page
1ff<\end_after><\natbib>Wright, 1978; Wright, 1963; Wood,
1961]{wright-78-book,wright-63,wood-61}
\end_inset
the tex-format:
\citealp[see][page 1ff]{wright-78-book,wright-63,wood-61}

this is a kind of overhead! for three words I start a search in a
database ...
and how do I know in the inset what bibtex-file I use?
