I can't remember if I replied to this. It turned out that I hadn't done much work on the patch, but I've started working on it again, and it ought to be pretty close. You can see what I've got here: https://git.lyx.org/?p=developers/rgheck/lyx.git;a=log;h=refs/heads/features/Counters though it definitely needs some cleanup, even if it does actually work (which it probably doesn't). I'm hoping to work on it more over the next few days.
