Thanks, John. Good tip. I should have found it myself but I was a little cranky
with LyX. It seems that when you select double spacing in Settings in LyX, it
incorporates the setspace package but then applies double spacing for the
entire document with \doublespacing. Your way lets me keep the title and author
lines single spaced.
I hope the devs see this post wrt providing different on-screen versus rendered
appearance regarding line spacing. Maybe I'll file a feature request.
