LyX ⇒ Section Numbering with Memoir Class & Article option

[Gnosos]

I am using the Memoir class with the article class option. In LyX I choose Document > Settings > Document Class, where I set the document class to "Book (Memoir)" and add "article, oneside" to the Custom: field of Class options. In the LaTeX preamble, I input a number of formatting files, including \input{startpagebody} to number sections properly (without chapter numbers and starting from section #1).

But when I view the document in LyX, section numbers all begin with zero (because the document has no chapters). So, for example, instead of the first subsection in the first section being numbered "1.1", it's numbered "0.1.1". The final document is fine, but working in LyX with such wrong numbering makes writing more difficult. What's the best way to fix this?

Getting the numbering right in LyX is very difficult, especially when you add stuff to the preamble that changes tables. LyX would have to parse everything.

If you think this is feasible though, file an enhancement requestion: http://www.lyx.org/trac
