Using biblatex in LyX: displaying all authors of multi-author works in the bibliography

Question

I have a follow-up question to biblatex: displaying all authors of multi-author works in the bibliography.

For that question, in LyX, we cannot simply write \usepackage[maxbibnames=99]{biblatex} in the preamble to address the problem. The reason is stated in https://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex, Using Biblatex with LyX 2.3.0 and newer, step 5.

In the preamble

• remove \usepackage[…]{biblatex}
• remove \addbibresource{…}

• embrace biblatex-related commands with

  \AtBeginDocument{%
    <your commands>
  }
  

Thus, we cannot use \usepackage[maxbibnames=99]{biblatex} in current version of LyX. Then how can we address this problem? I have worked on this for a whole day... Who would propose a solution?

Answer 1

Assuming you have your document set up for biblatex already you can pass options to the package as follows.

• Go to Document > Settings.
• Choose Bibliography in the left pane.
• Under Citation Style, pass your options to biblatex by putting them into the Options field.
