One man's opinion: When I use Beamer, I don't use LyX. From my
perspective, LyX adds more complication than convenience or capability.

I love LyX for long text documents, but for slide presentations,
letters, resumes and flyers, I think there are better ways to do things.

Great! I know it's not ideal, but I'm not sure there's any quick fix.

Re: beamer usability

[Neal Becker]

If I change my workflow it does, I need to only copy/paste the frame
contents (not the entire frame).  So insert separated frame and then paste
in the contents does seem to work.  This is probably much better than what
I was doing.  Thanks!

Since insert frame separator is no longer on the menu it seems my procedure
has become more complex.
I looked at the email thread.  First thing suggest edit/start new parent
environment(frame).  I don't see this in edit.  I'm on
lyx-2.4.0beta3.

For your specific question, does this thread help you out?

  https://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg104013.html

Basically, if you figure out a command sequence that does what you want then 
you can bind it to a shortcut. I know this isn't out-of-the-box user-friendly, 
but perhaps it helps your use case.

More generally, I've also found similar workflows to be unexpectedly 
complicated. I think that LyX's beamer workflow needs some improvements. 
Thankfully, LyX's beamer support was hugely improved several years ago. Before 
then, from what I understand it was a bunch of Beamer-specific hacks cobbled 
together; now it is just a well-defined special case of a document class. So I 
think the hard work is done, and all the required functionality is there, we 
just need to improve the interface/workflow.

I have some ideas, based on sporadic discussions on the list. But I have no 
time to work on the code, and I do not want to start long conversations unless 
there is a volunteer willing to work on the code. Anyone who would be 
interested in working on the code, let me know and I will put the time into 
organizing my thoughts.

In the meantime, I think it would be helpful to collect several use cases that 
are unexpected complicated, like the one that you bring up.

This error is now fixed, but to get A4 output size, I set

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

You can insert a frame and set the environment to "PlainFrame" in the 
environment select box. Assuming you leave the frame title inset empty, 
the PDF page will be blank except for the little navigation icons in the

When I put \section, I get an un-numbered slide so page numbers and

Weirdly, I put in 3 labels and 3 cross references to them. They all

When you say "beamer document", do you mean a Beamer slide show or a
Beamer article class document?

For a slide show, you can put the cursor in either the title or
body of
the frame to be referenced and use Insert > Label... to insert a
label.
Then, where the page number should appear, use Insert >
Cross-Reference..., pick the label of the target frame, and set the
"Reference Format:" box to one of the three options that contains

OK, I got it.  If I use  I get the slide number, which is what I
wanted.

Re: beamer reference to a page number?

[Neal Becker via lyx-users]

Hmm, a bit more complicated than I thought.  I really want the cross
reference to the slide number, which is indicated in the footer.
When I put \section, I get an un-numbered slide so page numbers and slide
numbers are not the same.
Weirdly, I put in 3 labels and 3 cross references to them.  They all look
the same format (even in the LaTeX code).  For some reason I can't see, 2
of them did give me a cross reference corresponding to the slide number, as
I want, but the 3rd gave me what seems to be the page number (which is 4
greater than the slide number) because I have 4 \sections before this.

Re: beamer frame (again)

[Paul A. Rubin via lyx-users]

On 3/15/22 10:03, Neal Becker via lyx-users wrote:
I'm trying to get used to the lyx way to insert beamer frames.  
Compared to the inset method I've been using I find it a bit 
inefficient, but maybe I need to learn some keyboard shortcuts to help 
with that.


One thing I'm having trouble with is inserting a beamer frame into a 
sequence of existing frames.  I have frame 1, a frame separator, and 
then frame 2.  If I try to put the cursor at the end of the separator, 
and then switch to "frame" from pulldown, this will not insert a 
frame, but seems to modify frame 2 (the cursor is placed in the title 
of frame 2).


The only way I could get a frame inserted is to first in "standard" 
mode type some random characters, and then I could switch to "frame" 
to get a new frame inserted.  What am I missing?


Thanks,
Neal

There are multiple ways to insert a frame. One is to put the cursor at 
the end of the contents of frame 1 (/not/ the separator line) and click 
Insert > Separated Frame Below. With my setup, the keyboard shortcut is 
Alt+P Return, but your mileage may vary. You can also start from frame 2 
and use Insert > Separated Frame Above.


A while back, I added a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+Return) mapped to 
the command "call newframe". That also works like a charm.

When I use metropolis, I pair it with Calibri, a Windows system font. My 
needs are very simple and I don't need a specific math font. I find that 
Calibri is pleasant when projected on a screen and it has a nice Italic 
for a sans-serif font. Because it is a Windows font, I compile my 
presentations with XeLaTeX.

Re: beamer dual

Hello,

OK

Ideally, by default (pympress), I would I have the current slide on the left
the next slide on the top right, and "annotations" in the bottom right.
I would like to have the notes go in the annotation pad.
If I set: \setbeameroption{show notes}
the notes come into "next slide" (and lost of course the next slide)
I tried several combinations of setting, but I never got the right one.

Any idea?

Thanks.

Re: beamer dual

[Neal Becker]

*I prefer pympress because we are mostly working from home and we want
to present over internet.  pympress makes the notes window a separate
window on my display.  So I can share the main window while I view the
notes window.  Just what I need!

You may be missing one of more of these in the preamble.  You don't
need more than the first 3, the others are my customizations.  There
is a manual for pympress.

\usepackage{pgfpages}
\setbeameroption{show notes}
\setbeameroption{show notes on second screen=right}
%\setbeamertemplate{note page}[compress]
\setbeamerfont{note page}{size=\tiny}
\addtobeamertemplate{note page}{\setbeamerfont{itemize/enumerate
subbody}{size=\tiny}}{}
\addtobeamertemplate{note page}{\setbeamerfont{itemize/enumerate

Re: beamer dual

[Patrick Dupre]

Yes,
I installed Pympress.
But, I anticipated that the NoteItem or \note[item]  (beamer)
would be the visible in "Annotations" (Pympress)
But it is not the case.

What am I missing?

Thanks.

RE: Beamer article

I'm afraid that the problem was with "\spanishdecimal{.}". I have just put the 
option "es-nodecimaldot" at document class, removing preamble lines and tags 
not appear.

Why do you load babel and Spanish explicitly in the preamble? Just selecting 
Spanish as document language in LyX should suffice.
Anyways, this looks like a bug in babel-spanish. As I don't get it here, I 
suppose you need to update the babel-spanish package.

RE: Beamer article

[CESAR MENENDEZ FERNANDEZ]

Thanks a lot, but I test your sample and get the same problem (as you can see 
at top page date).
I use miktex, and I has not found beamer-article package. I have just update 
now all packages, and beamer package date is at 12/02/2021.

I'm sorry, but I don't know where log archive is located and the compiled 
document has no errors. Elsewhere I have just test to change language from 
Spanish to English. Then I have errors in the preamble, so I comment preamble 
lines

%\selectspanish

%\spanishdecimal{.}

And now I get no tags!! output pdf document is OK!!

Sincerely

Hi all
I think I have searched the messages and have not found the solution.
For a few months, the change of document type from Beamer to beamer article 
generates labels with the order of the animations, how can they be eliminated? 
I attach an example with the lyx file and the pdf outputs of the article and 
the presentation.

This works without problems for me (attached my output with the missing 
graphics removed).

This is with beamerarticle 2021/02/09 v3.61

Why do you load babel and Spanish explicitly in the preamble? Just
selecting Spanish as document language in LyX should suffice.

Anyways, this looks like a bug in babel-spanish. As I don't get it
here, I suppose you need to update the babel-spanish package.

Hi Murat,

Thanks for that example! Are those separate equations (from LyX's
perspective) or is it a multi-line construct? I think they are separate,
which makes sense and gives some flexibility. But it might be difficult
to align things. But perhaps I should not be so picky :)

Attached is an example and with manual \onslide it can be made to work.
I'm not sure if this approach generalizes for other cases, but I think
it will work for me.

Thanks for your help!

Scott

Because they correspond to different roles:

Custom inset > Beamer Note => LaTeX: \note{...}

"Note item" layout => LaTeX: \note[item]{...}

That corresponds to two different usages, and after using both I like the 
difference. Conceptually, at least to me, both concepts make sense.

As Paul suggested, I will try to make a diff of the original file (it

Nevertheless, it is a headache just to think that this might happen in

Julio,

Rather than futzing seeking the source consider this: change
encoding to
UTF-8. Open on you Mac. Save it. Open it again and check the
encoding and
whether this resolved the issue.

Well, if you view things from the gremlin's point of view, there is no 
point in doing it /unless/ it is a moment of need. (I think this might 
be one of Murphy's Laws.) :-)

Re: Beamer error on Lyx 2.3.5.2

[jcredberry]

Done. Changed encoding to UTF-8, saved the file, closed it, opened it up
again, set encoding to Language Default, save it, compiled it, the error
appears.

As Paul suggested, I will try to make a diff of the original file (it is in
my backups) and see if there is something weird hanging around.
Nevertheless, it is a headache just to think that this might happen in a
moment of need.

If by any chance you kept the original Mac version (did not overwrite it 
with the version saved on Windows), you could diff the two LyX files to 
find the offending character.


Other than having a different idea about what an end-of-line character 
should be, I don't recall Windows mucking up characters on its own. If 
you paste in something copied from, say, a PDF (where there are 
ligatures) or maybe type something like an accented letter while 
editing, maybe that could be the source of the problem?

Re: Beamer presentation PDF resolution [RESOLVED]

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Thank you also very much for this RTFM!!!

After 10 years of being irritated that the Beamer presentations of mine
leave a black frame in full screen, I now finally found that
aspectratio=1610 removes it.

Tested it with Skim, Acrobat and Preview (and on Zoom) and looks great. 
Need to look at it with a beamer, but nowadays we do our CPD with Zoom 
so I don't have (need) ready access to a beamer anymore. 

On my iPad Mini 5 with sidecar the standard (43?) looks best so I will 
need to try different ratios on the beamer when we go back to F2F. 
Fortunately with Makefile or a for loop it's rather easy to produce a 
PDF in each supported aspect ration and then try every one on the 
beamer and use the one that looks best.

This is great stuff!

greetings, el

Rich,

glad to know it worked. I've found it a while ago as a stackexchange
question (here:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/14336/latex-beamer-presentation-package-169-aspect-ratio
), but it seems is in the beamer user guide too:
http://tug.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/beamer/doc/beameruserguide.pdf
in paragraph 8.3

In LyX i think there is lyx/beamer guide, not the complete beamer
manual.

Giovanni,

That explains it.

I'm moving my business marketing/prospecting to use video tutorials on a
YouTube business channel so I need to upload them as 1920x1080 or 1280x720
resolution files.

The beamer output is now in 16:9 aspect ratio, and the softwar I use to
display the PDF for the recorded video tutorials ('impressive') is scaled to
open in a 860x540 dpi window, half the final resolution. I use ffmpeg to
scale it up and it all works fine.

Thanks for adding to my LyX/LaTeX/Beamer knowledge,

Best regards,

I must have mis-typed something the first time I tried it as a class option

I found the tool, now I need to learn the proper command line. Turns out

I hope you're all healthy, productive, and safe and you stay this way.

Question:

After years of beamer presentations with different looks I've decided 
on one

that I'll use for all future presentations. How do I save this format and
structure (stripped of presentation-specific content) as a default 
template

for all my future beamer documents?

Comment:

A just-completed presentation has 6 images in it. The first two share 
their
frames with text so I used columns and two individual columns per 
frame with

the image on the left and the text on the right. This worked just fine.

But, the next 4 images are large and each occupies an entire frame by
itself. I inserted the first one, tweaked the size and position, and used
alt-p/shift-enter to create a new frame environment. But, nothing 
happened;

no new frame. I looked in the beamer manual but the word 'image' appears
only once and in reference to using overlays.

After much futzing I discovered a solution. When I defined a new frame
environment I inserted an itemize environment, then immediately created a
new, following frame. With the latter patiently waiting I inserted the 
image

in the first new frame, set its size and position, then moved to the next
frame that was created before inserting the image.

I hesitate to call this a bug because I don't know if there's a way I've
missed to insert only an image in a frame then create a new frame 
after that

other than what I did.

Rich

You can work around it by setting the overlay specification on the first

I tried to compile this and set a new indoor record for "cannot 
determine the size of a missing graphic" errors. Can you cut this down 
to a minimal example that shows the problem?

If you actually _want_ to track changes, then you will have to accept
the blue line.

I must have activated track changes accidentally. Now I know the 
function of it.


Thanks for all the help

No, because I did not know how to do a screen shot with the Fujitsu 
lifebook (nothing worked with DRUCK, ALT DRUCK, ALT GR DRUCK and trying 
to paste it in Gimp).


I renamed .lyx, started lyx anew and the Document> settings is now 
showing up again


So this is solved, but would like to know why it failed before.

Yes, accepting the track changes removed the blue lines. But the

I just exported the file to plain latex and run through it three times. 
Seems to be ok. There is apparently something wrong with my lyx. Will 
try it on another machine, unless somebody has an idea what to do

You can't get rid of it. As with any other environment, this tells
you
what is contained ("nested") in the current frame.

You probably talk about something different. Please post a minimal
example.

Jürgen, I am completely stuck. If I change something in my beamer 
document, e.g. to reduce it to a minimal example, I get these blue

included. Otherwise I have to construct the presentation anew, but I 
would really like to know what happened and why I can' practically do 
anything now.

I just noted, that I can't get the >document>settings anymore (the page 
just stays blank), not only for the document in question, but for all 
other documents.


Should I remove some .xx file and start lyx anew?
