I'm relatively new to LyX. I'm writing an article and would need to change the numbering of sections from Arabic to Roman. Would anyone know how to do this? (e.g. by means of ERT?)

Also, the subsections, I would need to change, to alphabetical (without reference to the section, so, e.g. section "A" rather than section "2.A").

Thanks very much in advance.

The answer to the LaTeX part of this can be found in How to change the numbering of \part, \chapter, \section, ... to alphabetical, Roman numbers, etc. You need to such commands to the preamble, by going to Document --> Settings --> LaTeX preamble.

To get the result you ask for, add

\renewcommand\thesection{\Roman{section}}
\renewcommand\thesubsection{\Alph{subsection}}

to the preamble.
