Hi all:

I am trying to get the time derivative of the mean value of a variable.
To
implement the mean value of a variable I defined in the preamble:

\newcommand{\mean}[1]{<#1>}

and in the lyx file I typed:

Alt-m d \dot{\mean{x

The final output in tex is something like that 

\[
\dot{{}\mean {x}\]

If I type Alt-m d \dot space \mean{x

the tex output is:

\[
\dot{\mean }{x}\]


which both of them are completely wrong, because I would like to obtain

\[
\dot{\mean{x}}\]


I guess that there is a problem with \dot in math mode, but maybe I have
missed something important. What am I doing wrong? How can I do? 

Thanks in advance for your help
