How to reduce code lineheight in LaTeX Beamer
Hi all, I'm using Beamer straight with LaTeX (no LyX). There's too much space between lines of code, so it makes the code hard to read and also pushes other content down too far. The following is a frame from my presentation: \begin{frame} [fragile] \frametitle{How to Design BNF} \begin{semiverbatim} wholefile ::= chunk | wholefile chunk chunk ::= paratext multinewline multinewline ::= NL NL | multinewline NL \end{semiverbatim} \end{frame} How can I reduce the space between lines of this code?

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.

Re: beamer usability
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!

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.

beamer usability
I've been using LyX for quite a while and beamer for even quite a while longer, but my knowledge of LyX is fairly superficial. I frequently produce slides which incorporate a graph on the left with bulleted text on the right. An example LaTeX code is below. I do need to use ERT for the minipage. The reason for the minipage is to shrink the text on the left. I cut/paste LaTeX here because pasting LyX doesn't seem to include the ERT. Since this structure is a bit tedious to enter I usually prefer to copy/paste the frame, changing the text and the figure but keeping the structure. This copy/pasting is a bit more difficult than I would hope. Firstly, to successfully copy/paste a beamer frame it is best to make sure there is a frame separator. Position the cursor just at the end of this frame separator before the frame you wish to copy, then select down to the end of the frame. When pasting, it seems best to position cursor just after a frame separator. If this is not done (frame separators not used) I frequently wind up with a frame title outside of a frame, a situation that seems difficult to recover from (although at least 1 time I did fix it by positioning the cursor near the start of the frame title and selecting "frame"). Assuming I've placed the cursor at the end of the graphic of the frame I'd like to copy, the procedure to get frame separator inserted seems tedious. 1. Hit enter. Now I'm in "columns" 2. Hit dedent. Now I'm still in "columns" but outside the frame 3. Change to "standard" . For some reason, this moves cursor back inside frame 4. Hit dedent again. Now finally I can hit enter to produce the frame separator. Is there an easier way?

You've already learned the right way to center it, but I'd like to try an alternative way, and will report whether my idea works.

resume enumerate for beamer
I'm trying to do resume enumeration in beamer. I read instructions to use doc settings, modules, list enhancements, customizable lists, but the "add" button is grayed out. I'm assuming this is because of compatibility with beamer, as a test I see I can add it to an amsarticle document. I also saw here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/365974/resuming-a-list-in-lyx That I should be able to right click on an enum item and see enumerate options, but I don't get this choice (this is 2.4-devel).

I'm confused as to what you're trying to accomplish, and have no idea what a "real" empty line is. I also don't know what LyX does to Beamer (I use Beamer directly, without LyX), and I have no idea how the Beamer macro package changes the behavior of normal LaTeX macros. But I do know this about LaTeX: The following produces the phrase "First line" directly over the phrase "Second line". = ~\\[0ex]First line\\[1ex]Second line = The purpose of the ~\\[0ex] is so the next two lines aren't subject to the paragraph's indenting. The distance between the lines can be adjusted by modifying the 1ex. You can create a character style to express the command above, and use that character so you wouldn't need to use ERT. >What I do now is I insert an empty line with an ERT box. If you're satisfied with the spacing your ERT box presents, it would be almost trivial to create a character style that puts a box at the end of the line.

I know how to create shortcuts, I just don't know the name of the "function" that actually inserts this red line. In the lyx file this red line is called "Separator plain". If you really think of it, I don't know the function name because I also don't know how to insert it from the menus, so you are welcome to tell me how to do that as well. I think it depends on your LyX version where to find the menu entry. It used to be possible to insert a separator from the "Edit" menu. In recent versions it was replaced by menus called "Separated Frame Above" and "Separated Frame Below" in the "Insert" menu. It is already bound to the Alt+P Alt+Return and Alt+P Return, respectively. You can see the function by opening the Messages Pane (View menu) and executing the function. Spoiler ahead! It is command-alternatives environment-split ; environment-split previous The menu entries disappear when the Standard environment is used. I guess it would be better to show them at all times but gray them out when not accessible. In that way the user gets accustomed to that there are such menu entries and where those menu entries are. Also, for some reason when you are in the "Frame Title" inset, then the command disappears. I guess it would be better to make it accessible in that case or at least only gray it out. (I made the suggestion elsewhere that these separators should be disbanded and instead frame content should be distinguished from non-content by indentation.

It's strange indeed, but I'm happy there are still nice apps like LyX, pdfpc available . Sincerely, Saša p.s. TLDR; I did two books more than 20 years ago using LyX. In the meantime I tried few times with ConTeXt, but never had enought time to overcome lack of good docs. :-) Now, when I'm more in study-mode and have to prepare /both for my & my wife) some presentations, I, naturally, returned back to LyX, but had some problems due to my ignorance of LyX-Beamer combo. Now, I believe that all the obstacles are behind us, and I am thrilled that good-old LyX did the job without resort to HTML/JS (reveal) technology. Actually, I'm looking forward to embrace LyX as my main writing tool instead of fiddling with different editors (Vim, Emacs etc.) and then simply deal with export/import when there is is need to put some content online. -- Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be. -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

With the pdfpc latex package [1], you can insert notes to latex directly via \pdfpcnote (never tried it myself). The package documentation also states that: "If you prefer using full-featured beamer notes rendered alongside the presentation (\setbeameroption{show notes on second screen}), the pdfpc package will autodetect it, so using the --notes command-line option is unnecessary. To override the autodetection, use the notesposition option, accepting the same values (right/left/top/bottom/none)."

In LyX, a "Beamer note" is just an inset, so it is saved in the .lyx file as any inset (e.g., like a URL inset or a Note inset). There is also a Note environment, and it is saved like any environment. When compiling to PDF, you need to add some preamble code, otherwise the Note contents will be ignored (by Beamer). I'm using this basic setup: % https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/21872/12212 \usepackage{pgfpages} \setbeamertemplate{note page}[plain] \setbeameroption{show notes on second screen=right} > Btw, I've installed it and it looks great, but have to figure out if > the setup > - multiple displays etc. are eas easy as with pdfpc since presentation > will be done by not-so-tech-savvy person. :-) One tip: sometimes I think Pympress gets confused and is not sure which monitor is for you and which is for the audience. If it starts up the wrong way, press "s" to swap. Just in case though, you might want to make sure the presenter notes on the first slide aren't too embarrassing if they are accidentally revealed to the audience :). > > Indeed you have to use the Pympress viewer. > > Yeah, similar as with pdfpc.. > > > I'm not sure how to use Evince with presentation notes.

I have used a video slide successfully before with Pympress. I remember searching and I think I found it is also supported by pdfpc but I could not test it. Also with Pympress, I remember it worked on one computer and for some reason did not work on the other. I did not narrow it down to whether it was a difference in Pympress viewer versions, or what, but I did come away with the feeling that it was "fragile". This week and next are a bit busy for me. How time-sensitive is this? I can try to find time to make a full Pympress example and send you the .lyx file and video file and see if it works for you. Would that help?

Hi Saša, I've heard great things about pdfpc and also Pympress. For Pympress, then notes are embedded in the .pdf file themselves (by adding a right/left side of PDF pages I think). Indeed you have to use the Pympress viewer. I'm not sure how to use Evince with presentation notes. I've never tried that.

Hello! Is it possible to embed video file in Beamer PDF presentation prepared with LyX which is suppsed to be presented from Linux (Debian)? What about using Windows OS for presenting from USB stick?

speaker notes & Beamer
Hello, I need to put together one presentation and wonder how to deal with the speaker notes in Beamer? Are they visible in Linux PDF viewers like Atril/Evince or Acrobat if I'd just copy presentation on USB stick to present under Windows OS? One option for presenting might be to use (https://pdfpc.github.io/), but in that case it seems that preferrable way is to use notes embedded in *.pdfpc files, possibly formatted with Markdown markup. Any hint?

Re: insert a url into a lyx/beamer presentation
Hi Murat, I do believe that SOME people have it working, but, as you can see from my response to Udi today, this exercise has uncovered some problems with my Lyx installation. When I have more time, I shall scrub and re-install it, unless I find out before what is failing/missing.

Re: insert a url into a lyx/beamer presentation
This little exercise has uncovered some bad things. The Examples folder, as well as several other folders under .lyx, was empty. I don't know whether anything crucial is also missing, which could account for the failure. When I tried to re-install Lyx, I got several errors. I am doing this under MX Linux 21, and the Lyx version they provide is 2.3.6-1. I am reluctant to un-install and re-install, because I need this to work for the next few days.

Yours, Udi Hi Udi, There should be an example file for the beamer class in the examples directory called beamer.lyx, in its appendix there is a url, are you able to compile this file without any errors?

insert a url into a lyx/beamer presentation
I tried to insert a url into a lyx/beamer document. I naively thought that all I had to do was click: Insert/url with the cursor at the frame where I waned the url to appear and be clickable. Unfortunately, all I got was the text of the url, and clicking on it did nothing. For some reason I am convinced that Lyx CAN do that, but it failed in my hands. What am I doing wrong here?

Running a command from within Lyx/Beamer
Is there a (simple) way of running a (linux) command from within a Lyx/Beamer presentation?
