On reconsideration, I think the answer is to convince Elsevier to use
setspace for line spacing (or at least write their class to be compatible
with setspace). I can use elsart.cls by telling LyX to single space and
then adding "doublespacing" as an extra class option. That's a pain to
remember, and it doubles spaces all sorts of things (like footnotes) that
really ought remain single spaced.
As far as \corauthor, \corauthorref and \ead, the last should be easy (it
works like \address), but the other two might be tricky. \corauthorref
works like a label, and \corauthor works a bit like a citation (the
format is \corauthor[ref]{stuff}, where 'ref' is defined by a
\corauthorref{ref} appearing inside a \author{}. Does anybody know if
this is doable within a layout file (without structural changes to LyX
itself)?
