the note. In the nested inset, give the Beamer specification for
which slide(s) the note applies to. For instance, <2> means the note
only applies to the second slide of the frame. Note that you have to
type the angle brackets; LyX does not supply them.
3. You now have three options for generating a PDF file.
1. To get a PDF file that contains both slides and notes, add the
line "\setbeameroption{show notes}" to the LaTeX preamble. The
notes will appear on separate pages embedded in the PDF file.
2. To get a PDF file that contains just the notes, change that to
"\setbeameroption{show only notes}".
3. To get a PDF file that contains only the slides (no notes), do
neither of the above. The default is to hide notes.
Pro tip: if you put both the \setbeameroption lines in the preamble, you can
switch among the three options just by commenting one or both out.
Paul,
Thanks. I read about the actions in either the LyX beamer manual or the
KOMA-Script beamer user guide but was not sure just how to use them.
Best regards,
Rich

Also, I think you can use things like "+" for the current slide. Paul

答复: Problems using sumatra PDF viewer
Hi， Thank you for your reply. I have found the line but the default value is true already. It is a weird phenomenon even for almost blank document. Dear all, I have set the sumatra as my defalt PDF viewer of LyX. But there will a new PDF each time if I compile it using CTRL+R. I want the output to overwrite the old PDF. Is there anything I can do? As per the Sumatra PDF documentation ;-) — in "Settings" select "Advanced settings" to bring up the advanced settings file in your default text editor. Find the line for "ReloadModifiedDocuments" and edit it to read: ReloadModifiedDocuments = true Note that I believe there is a size limit (10MB?) after which Sumatra will not do auto-reloads even if you set this parameter to "true". -cm

You may have overseen it. Kornel, For all document classes that box is unchecked. I suppose that years ago I prepared a beamer document that had that preference box checked and the paragraph ending symbol just hung around in the new presentations. I've seen applications that offer a symbol for paragraph endings, but have not understood their benefit. Paragraphs I write, in all text applications, are either separated by a blank line or are indented. That's sufficient visual cues for me. :-) Best regards, Rich I have seen this sign in my documents that I have prepared in the older version of LyX but opened in a newer version. I can confirm this sign appear in LyX documents with classes other than beamer. I have thought that this has something to do with the encoding of "end of paragraph" character and maybe related to Windows. Not sure. Would like to hear the actual meaning. Baris -- ↓↓ Please bottom-post. Start your reply here: See C.1.5 in UserGuide.lyx Kornel No, I think that's a different one. The one from Rich's screenshot marks and creates an extra blank line in order to keep the documents as they used to look like with older version. But since the blank line was actually rather a bug it is safe to remove the symbol in almost all cases. There was an announcement about that in some version but I can't find it just now. Daniel

Rich Not sure this is the best way to go but you can try to add a notes page after each slide and print that with two columns of pages on a paper (see attachment). You need to use the "notes" document class option in order to get the notes output. You can probably modify the layout of the notes page. There is both a NoteItem layout and a Beamer Note in Custom Insets but I didn't figure out how to achieve the itemize notes with it. Maybe someone else knows?

That's a change from previous LyX versions, which I also encountered. Take an old one, remove one of these. save and run a diff, so you'll see what regex you need to plug into Perl :-)-O el On 29/11/2018 20:43, Rich Shepard wrote: > I've copied an older beamer document to a new name to keep the > framework and change the content.
