Thank you for your replies. I believe it is a trifle early for me to be
customizing, though I did go to section 5.3 to have a look.
And it is not much work to label the comment by putting a description in
front of it. The LyX comments beat the heck out of both writer and word
by a country mile.
Regards,
Ron

Hi, first let me say that I have started using LyX for studying Spanish
because it is easier to use and less distracting than word or
writer. Of
course there are always thing one wants done better but if one isn't
doing
them oneself and as the program is free...
Still, I have one question which is hoping for a simple answer: Is
there a
way to label the notes and comments in a LyX document?
What I mean is when you go to 'Insert> Note> Comment' for example,
you get
a comment icon on the page. It is called 'Comment' but I would like to
change that to say 'May Ideas' 'Important Page Numbers' or whatever.
You can do this, but it can be daunting at first. You would need to
understand Help> Customization> 5.3, especially the 'LabelString'
and related options. Then you would clone the inset config from the
default config files and make a custom module (or simply hack the
default config files altogether).
I think this is the right way to go. But better than changing the
label for a comment would be to create a new sort of inset for "May
Ideas" or whatever; then you can have as many of them as you wish. You
can pretty much start, say, the endnotes.module file and just modify
it as you see fit.
