That's not a very good solution because it forces the user to do extra work in every index range of every document, and also gravely increases the troubleshooting effort if the user messes up the nesting of |( and |). From my perspective as a book author, T1 would be preferable to ERT, and even my silly kludge script would be preferable. T1, ERT and my script are all workarounds. The SOLUTION would involve recognition by LyX that |( or |) at the end of a string inside an IDX tag defines a range, so do not convert the pipe symbol to \textbar etc. Or, if that's impossible, when the LyX user requests an index tag, pop up a dialog box asking the name and whether it's begin-range, end-range, or this-location.
