Well, yes, it works, it makes the references/bibliography section increment
properly, but the references in the body text don't, because they weren't
properly incremented when the addition was made. If, for example, this had
20 references and I did this I would have to manually go and change 19
citation references in the body. This isn't LaTeX being dodgy, this is LyX
not incrementing the labels how one would expect. Bug? Oversight? Or does
BibTex get around this annoyance?
I laughed at a colleague who added a reference in Word and then had to
manually renumber everything, the same thing seems to apply to LyX
unfortunately and I find it bizarre that no one has come across this before.
The easy "add a section/subsection etc and everything is automatically
renumbered" doesn't extend to this and before I start writing long papers
with LyX and recommending it to my users as their document processor of
choice I need to know why.
