Lyx: newcommand for defining variables
I'm trying to recreate a template for Lyx that's similar to the Kona Script Letter V2, as seen below.

In short, I was hoping to have a list of newcommands in the PreAmble that define things like Sender Name or Sender Address.
newcommand{SenderName}[1]
newcommand{SenderAddress}[1]
The Lyx User would define these newcommand similarly to what's seen below by way of a .module file with a bunch of Style definitions like this:
Style Sender_Name
Category MyLetter
LatexType Command
Align Left
Margin Dynamic
LabelType Static
LabelString "Sender Name: "
LabelFont
Color Blue
TopSep 1.0
BottomSep 1.0
LatexName SenderName
End
This fails spectacularly because when I try to enter a Sender Name on a lyx file, I believe this comes after the PreAmble, and thus an error is created where newcommand{SenderName}[1] sees an empty arg being entered.
Is there any way around this? I'm trying to make a template completely Lyx-dependent, not requiring any knowledge of LaTeX or TeX.
