I'd like to make the default fontsize scriptsize, and the default alignment left. I've tried \renewcommand{\marginpar}[1]{\marginpar{{\fontsize scriptsize #1}}
and a few others but they don't seem to work. I even tried editing my ~/.lyx/ui/default.ui to contain: Item "Marginal Note|M" "command-sequence marginalnote-insert ; font-size scriptsize" to no avail... Has anyone faced this problem before?? - Pierre Dumuid
