I got teubner to work with the following things set:
Document settings->Language->encoding from auto to Latin1 (since I
don't have the definitions for greek encodings).
And following lines in the preamble, in this order:
\usepackage{babel}
\languageattribute{greek}{polutoniko}
\usepackage{teubner}
\def\textasciitilde#1{~}
The first line is needed, for otherwise babel won't be there to
recognize the languageattribute; the last line is a crude hack to enable
the use of the special accent produced with ~; LyX exports ~ as
\textasciitilde, which in turn does not produce the desired effect with
polutoniko-greek. Another choice would be to write all greek text as
ERT, which is rater ugly on the screen.
Hope these work for you, too,
Harri Kiiskinen
