Hi,
I was aware of https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/UsingMemoirInLyX but at the same
time that page seems outdated, as it explicitly mentions Lyx 1.5, which
is dated. I saw that it also mentions section 6.3 of the "Additional
Features" LyX help document (valid for LyX 2.x), but did not see this
caveat (US Letter) being listed. It may still make sense for LyX to
handle this specific case, but that's up to you. I'm content with the
fix I found (which I mentioned in the original post).
I've been using memoir simply out of habit. I don't think I'm using
specific features that other book classes wouldn't offer. I'd say that I
just liked the look of the generated PDF that came out of the box, in
comparison to other book classes. I may look into scrbook for the next
project, though.
Best!

Hi again,
I forgot to mention that you also need to set custom page margins. An
example file is attached.
Best regards!

Hi,
I've noticed that the recent Lyx versions (2.3.x) generate a PDF that
is of "US Letter" size, even though I've explicitly set up A4 in the
document settings (Page Layout -> Format). This happens once I enable
Hyperref support in the document settings.
As suggested in
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/356545/why-does-the-hyperref-packa
ge-change-the-paper-size it seems that adding "a4paper" as custom option
to the documentclass seems to work. This is extreme expert knowledge that
you should not expect your users to have. When a normal/novice user sets
up A4, then the generated PDF should be A4 (and the same goes for any
other page format).
Is this something that you could fix?
Best regards!

Marius,
I can reproduce this behaviour, which seems to be associated with the memoir
class. Very configurable but tricky, as announced at
https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/UsingMemoirInLyX .
Is there a specific reason why you are not using scrbook?
