Daniel,

No, you actually need both the "notes" option set in the class options 
(under Document > Settings > Document Class) and the ERT box. Both of 
which I used in my example file.

Daniel,

   I'm not finding how to print the slides and notes on two-column pages 
when

I look at the preamble and settings in your .lyx example. I get only the
beamer presentation (without notes using \setbeameroption{hide notes} and
with notes following each slide using \setbeameroption{show notes}).

   Please point out what I've missed so I can produce a document with the
slides on the left and the notes on the right, as your .pdf attachment
shows.

Regards,

Rich



I see. Well, I just opened the document in a PDF viewer and printed it 3 
rows by 2 columns to a pdf file.

crash when spell checking

2018-12-03 Thread Patrick Dupre
Hello,

I do not understand why lyx crashes when I run the spell checker.
Then it crashes every time that I try to reload it!!!
It is a BEARMER document.
Unfortunately, it is not a document that I can broadcast, and I am in
rush.

You can probably modify the layout of the notes page.


  I'll take a look at this later.

  Forgot about it. Mea culpa! Just re-read it and that looks like a good
solution.

Paul,

   It seems I need to do this for each note, That's okay.


2. For each speaker note, put the cursor inside the note, right-click
  and select Action Specifications, which nests another inset inside
  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.


   With pauses between the points on a slide the note is after the first
point. Without pauses the note is after the slide. I'll go look at the
manuals and see if there's a way to present the slide and its note in two
columns.
