Wolfgang, you are correct; I think that's the simplest approach (so simple that I wonder why I didn't think of it). In the meantime I cooked up a script based on a one-liner that appeared to work, given some constraints. Attached is the shell script (requires dos2unix if you work with Windows-saved files) which takes files as arguments (so it can report per-file citation count), e.g. "lyxcitecount *.lyx". I'll see if I can somehow integrate such a count into the LyX statistics dialog. I think that'll be pretty neat, especially since it'll work for selections as well. The problem in this case, I suppose, would be that different bib engines use different cite commands. -- GPG/PGP ID: C0711BF1
