Hi,
still not done with Vancouver style
I tried for quite some time but can't find the option for references, in
which more than 2 authors are referenced as
author1 et al
Wolfgang
I found out how to solve it:
in vancouver.bst
(which is in my case in home/wolfgang/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/bibtex/bst/)
change
nameptr #6
to
nameptr #2
and
numname #6
to
numname #2
I saved this changed vancouver.bst to vancouver2etal.bst
in order not to interfere with the original file
and added this to document>settings bibliography style>default style
WHICH DID NOT WORK
however, if I changed vancouver2etal.bst to vancouver.bst
(by saving the original vancouver.bst preliminary as vancouverOrig.bst)
IT WORKED
namely, only maximally 2 authors in the bibliography, if more: et al after
the second one
My question:
why was vancouver2etal in bibliography style>default style not recognized?
I did a reconfigure before.

This is new in LyX 2.1:
For the Default style defined in document settings to be used, the style
in the "BibTeX-generated bibliography" dialog must be set to "default".
Note that this isn't completely ironed out, but the intention behind
this document-wide setting is for citation engine that define the style
in the preamble, e.g. biblatex.
For now, I would recommend to use the LyX 2.0 way:
Just set the bibliography style you want from the "BibTeX-generated
bibliography" dialog.
