If you send a MWE showing this (mis)behavior, we could probably tell
you what was needed (rather than a separator). Separators are, as the
name says, only needed to separate environments (of the same type), for
nothing else.

Hi Ehud,

Please bottom-post (https://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/ListNetiquette#tofu).

Indeed, it is difficult and frustrating to transition to a new way of
doing things. You might just want to stick with an older version of LyX
until you have the time and energy to deal with the transition and to
read Help > Specific Manuals > Beamer Presentations.

If you send us a minimal example, and describe exactly what you would
like to achieve as the end goal, we can tell you the "new" way of doing
things. It's always fun to argue whether the new way of doing things is
better/worse than the old way, but let's separate that discussion from
"how do accomplish things in the new way?".

As for just needing a separator, I'm not sure that manually inserting a
separator is the best way to accomplish what you want to do in the *new*
way of using Beamer in LyX.

Paul & Pavel (Paul2?)-- I am using 2.3.4.2
  (latest, I think) under Linux/Mint-XFCE 19.3 (latest).  I found
  the Separated
  Frame Below(above) on my own, before I nagged you,
  but it inserts not only a separator, but a NEW FRAME-- a separator
  PLUS an open frame, which needs to be removed, because it creates
  a blank frame in the presentation.  Deleting it also deletes the
  desired separator, and we are back to square one.    I tried the
  shortcuts, but they did not work on my system.   This should not
  be THAT difficult, and it did not used to be.

:) The beamer was completely reworked while ago. It is now more powerful, but
the workflow is more harder esp. if you get used to the older ways.

If you are inside slide and want to start next slide (that's why you want
the end of frame separator, right?) you just go to the Insert menu ->
Separated Frame below. This will insert frame end && new frame after that.

I strongly advise to look on new beamer examples, this is not the only
surprise you will encounter...

  Thanks for the remider, Paul. I have the speaker's notes issue resolved. I
built and installed pdfjam

has a good review. Using pdfjam-slides6up produced pages with three
slide/note pairs on each landscape-oriented page. A tool worth adding to
your PDF toolbox.


My most recent post this afternoon explains how I fixed the problem:
using ctrl-alt-Enter put in the end{frame} separators except on the frame
with a PDF image. I cannot get the frame end entered so the frame title is
on one slide and the image on the following slide. How this all happened
is a mystery; what I need to learn is how to get the image displayed on
the slide with the frame title.


  This is now fixed, too. Rather than futzing with adding \end{frame} to
that frame I created a new frame above it (which included the frame end
mark), added the title and image to it, and deleted the recalcitrant frame.
All's well now.

It has to be an empty Standard paragraph.

Indeed.

The way described in our beamer manual is much easier:

"There is a simple and much more convenient way to start a new frame:
Issue Edit->Start New Environment (Alt+P Return) if you are in a non-
nested Frame paragraph, or Edit->Start New Parent Environment (Alt+P
Shift+Return), respectively, if you are in a nested paragraph within
the frame!"

Hmm, that doesn't do anything over here. I keep hitting "enter", but that never 
takes me out of the original frame.


But for anyone else looking for a solution to this, I did dig up an answer.


First of all, apparently, this change was introduced in 2.2.0:

http://git.lyx.org/?p=lyx.git;a=blob_plain;f=lib/RELEASE-NOTES;hb=97a3a64290e3c1afa2fede081ef17736be636c5a


And the solution (detailed in the User Guide section 3.4.6, but the 
instructions are out-of-date in the Beamer manual) is to go to Edit>Start New 
Environment. This is not specific to Frames but will start a new instance of 
whatever environment you're in.
 If you are in a Frame environment when you do this, it will insert a separator 
and start a new frame.


The next mystery is what to call this in when assigning key bindings?

Hi all,


Upgraded to 2.2.1 and having trouble finding the Separator environment for 
Beamer presentations. I used to have it associated to a key binding, and that 
doesn't work anymore, but I don't see it in the list of paragraph styles, 
either.


The Beamer manual says this:

" Consecutive frames have to be separated from each other. This is done by 
means of the
Separator paragraph style."

But for some reason that's not showing in my list. 
I can work around this for now by copying the separator+frame environments from 
the Beamer manual, but there must be a better way!

I am on Mac OS 10.8, Linguistics module enabled.



And, I just checked my Linux installation (LyX 2.0 something), and the 
Separator style is in the first block of styles visible in the list, near 
"Standard". It's definitely not there anymore in the Mac version.

Try "call newframe". I use the cua binding file, and in a previous 
version of LyX I had Ctrl+Alt+Return bound to the lfun necessary to exit 
the current frame and start a new one. Apparently, when I upgraded to 
LyX 2.2, this was converted for me to "call newframe".

Hmm, that doesn't do anything over here. I keep hitting "enter", but that
never takes me out of the original frame.

But for anyone else looking for a solution to this, I did dig up an answer.

First of all, apparently, this change was introduced in 2.2.0:

http://git.lyx.org/?p=lyx.git;a=blob_plain;f=lib/RELEASE-NOTES;hb=97a3a64290e3c1afa2fede081ef17736be636c5a

And the solution (detailed in the User Guide section 3.4.6, but the
instructions are out-of-date in the Beamer manual) is to go to Edit>Start
New Environment. This is not specific to Frames but will start a new
instance of whatever environment you're in. If you are in a Frame
environment when you do this, it will insert a separator and start a new
frame.

The next mystery is what to call this in when assigning key bindings?

Re: Frame separator

[Joel Kulesza]

Maria,

The "separator" is no longer explicitly used (it sounds like the
documentation isn't yet updated).  Check the recent release notes for
official guidance.

My version: after you're done inputting information in the frame, hit Enter
/ Return a bunch of times and eventually you will get the traditional
separator line.  I'm likely approaching this is in a clumsy fashion, but it
is the easiest approach I've found.  That said, immediately inserting a new
Frame isn't done as easily as I would like.  I still need to figure out of
there is a better yet quick/easy way to do this.

Regards,
Joel

Frame separator

[Maria Gouskova]

Hi all,

Upgraded to 2.2.1 and having trouble finding the Separator environment for
Beamer presentations. I used to have it associated to a key binding, and
that doesn't work anymore, but I don't see it in the list of paragraph
styles, either.

The Beamer manual says this:

" Consecutive frames have to be separated from each other. This is done by
means of the Separator paragraph style."

But for some reason that's not showing in my list.
I can work around this for now by copying the separator+frame environments
from the Beamer manual, but there must be a better way!

I am on Mac OS 10.8, Linguistics module enabled.


And, I just checked my Linux installation (LyX 2.0 something), and the
Separator style is in the first block of styles visible in the list, near
"Standard". It's definitely not there anymore in the Mac version.
