Dear LyX-peoples...

I have a few questions concerning layout, typesetting and fonts.
(I am using LyX 1.6.5 on Ubuntu 10.04)

I am in the planning stage of writing a music theory textbook (which
will be Creative-Commons licensed!) and I am therefore using the "book"
class in the Document Setting dialogue. It is easy for me to choose
Helvetica and Utopia for my Sans Serif and Roman fonts, respectively,
and I am more than happy with my choice.

However, I would like to tweak a lot of these settings so that my
headings are in the Sans font, and my content in the Roman font. Using
the KOMA-script book class is not an option.

I have been going through the Wiki and the built-in "Customization"
documentation, but I have no skill in writing *.layout files. I have
tried, but I cannot seem to do what I want to do.

This also affects the page headers, which I want to look a certain way.
Because LyX is based on LaTeX, I know that various layouts can be set. 

Is there someone who can direct me in the right way to learn how to
change my settings the way I want them? I would really like to learn how
to tweak these settings in a few hours rather than weeks learning
complex LaTeX code.

Thanks!

Etienne
