I do have a list with six sentences. They start with

1.)
2.)
3.)
4.)

Then I entered a description for this forth sentence, and after that I
would like to continue with:

5.)
6.)

But the problem is, that when I choose "numeration" in the menu, the
numeration again starts with "1". How could I change that behaviour?

I don't remember what you call it, but LyX has buttons to nest
paragraphs.  Nest the descriptive paragraph inside sentence #4, and I
believe it should do exactly what you want. Not only that, it's very
representative of what you're doing, because the descriptive paragraph
is ABOUT sentence 4. Styles based authoring at its best.

For the record: if you really want to continue an enumeration after a
"top-level" interuption, you can use the "enumitem" module. (Search for
enumitem at http://wiki.lyx.org)

This particular request -- to have an enumeration resume after an interruption, and often an interruption at the "top-level" -- appears on the list quite frequently. Among the developers, has any thought been given to making this a menu option (called Resume Enumeration, say) in a future version of LyX?
