Multiple authors and affiliations in LyX

Question

I want to add multiple authors and affiliations for each, without repeating footnotes when the affiliation is the same. Consider this:

which produces this:

and in the bottom of the page:

There are 2 problems here:

1. For Juan Carlos the two footnote symbols are overlapping.
2. It would be nice to give Juan Carlos and Raúl the same affiliation footnote symbol instead of repeating.

How can I fix this?

Answer 1

1. To solve your first problem, add space between the two consecutive footnotes.

2. For you second problem, you can use \footnotemark[2], this will only print the symbol of the second footnote, without adding one.
