Good email to the Copernicus people! But I have some news as well: - reinstalled all lyx stuff I ever had and put your layout and template in the proper directories, before my first start up; your "save .layout in .template folder" trick did not work :) - Now I can create PDF from the template! So, my installation must have been corrupted!
- But I was really bothered by the babel-thing. So I switched it off (Tools>Preferences>Language Settings ; unmark babel), while making sure that the default language English is used. Now I could add the a .bib file and build my PDF's. Now there's is one more thing: the journal editors want the authors to use British English. This implies that you use the English(UK) babel package for the spell check. So, stating this language as the default language and switching off the babel package again causes the infinite loop! Conclusion: definitely 100% sure that the maintainers of the copernicus package should make it compatible with the babel package! Does this work for you as well?
