Hello, So you want to label each of the lines in order? If you are in the math environment, right click and select "Displayed Formula". That will center the entire math block. Then you can right click and number the whole formula or each line. It is true that it will not number each line 1-4 and equally true that would most likely not be very difficult but it is equally not very difficult to just number each line. It is then possible to label each line as something like equation_1, equation_2, equation_3 for easy reference. That way you know that equation_1 is the first equation for equation *equation. *To reference these numbers, you set up a cross reference based on the labels you chose. This is actually really nice. Say for example that you wanted to insert an equation between 3 and 4. You don't have to worry about changing labels or references. It just does it.
Again, I really don't understand what the desired outcome would be or why something doesn't work. All Lyx is doing is setting up a nice front end and dealing with the \ref{} and \label{} tags for you. The cases where it makes sense to have every single line in a math group labeled separately are fairly edge case in nature and the problem easily fixed with a few simple right clicks.
