I used to insert section labels right after the heading:

This is actually how it is done in the User Guide as well. However, this produces the following source:

\section{Some heading\label{sec:Some-heading}}

But it actually leads to problems when I tried to have uppercase section headings with:

\usepackage{sectsty}
\sectionfont{\MakeUppercase}

I guess the error occurs for the same reason as \MakeUppercase{\label{sec:Some-heading}} generates an error.

So I looked around and saw that often the label is inserted *after* the section:

\section{Some heading}\label{sec:Some-heading}

But I am not sure how to achieve this with LyX. So instead I did this:

1. Some heading
[sec:Some-heading]

Where the label is just inserted in an extra default paragraph. Apart from looking a bit odd, it seems to work and not to create extra spacing or so. So is this the "saver" way to insert section labels in LyX?

Hi Daniel,
I am not quite sure what you mean.
But this is how I insert a section:

I type : 'New Section' as a name
With the cursor somewhere inside/before/behind that name I select: 'Section'
And I get: '3.8 Section Extra' in the appropriate format

Selecting 'Section*' would  do the same without numbering
