Carsten, I've seen properties and sub-headlines proposed, but what about something like this, using quoting style to separate the notes from the slide? ** Slide - Slide content - Slide content #+BEGIN_BEAMER_NOTE Here are the class notes for this slide... #+END_BEAMER_NOTE
That is a possibility, but a lot of hassle to type for a short note. Admittedly, properties are just as messy. Maybe it should be * BNOTE Here are the class notes for this slide... more stuff.... - Carsten
Maybe I'm coming in on the debate late... Thanks.

Can't we just use headings with a TODO keyword BNOTE or with property BNOTE or so as the sources of notes? Or, even simpler, Or we could use a special value "note" in the the BEAMER_env property to mark notes. This would be easy to turn on with the special editing code we already have, would automatically be tracked by a B_note tag and in this way stay visible. Using marked nodes would avoid choosing a specific level for such notes, and give the biggest flexibility. If we do this, then the following problem arises: An outline node always has a headline and content. What should be do with the headline? Should be throw it away? Or just make it part of the note text? Maybe that would make the most sense. Input is again welcome! - Carsten On Dec 20, 2009, at 4:08 PM, Darlan Cavalcante Moreira wrote:I also liked this idea. Since beamer does not track where the \note command isused inside the frame and just puts every note from that frame in thenext "notes slide", then there is no loss if org-mode put several \note commands inthe end of the frame environment when exporting. Therefore, a headlinebelow the frame headline seems to be a good approach. Also, if the beamer notes are not desired when exporting to other formats onecould add a tag to the "notes headline" and use the already availablefeature of not exporting headlines with a given tag. - Darlan Cavalcante Moreira At Sat, 19 Dec 2009 12:33:14 -1000, "Thomas S.

If org-mode export footnotes as beamer notes then some months from now someonewould be asking here in the mailing-list how to enter a standardfootnote when exporting to beamer.I agree - unfortunately there are genuinely sensible uses of footnotes in presentations. For example, citation of sources for quotations,data etc. is ideally accomplished by footnotes: they are not usedduring the presentation itself, but by distributing paper and/or electronic copies after the talk, footnotes provide essential reference data for perusal by the audience at a later date.I think that's an argument *for* Eric's idea (assuming that the handout includes notes - that's my practice, but maybe not everybody does that, although they *should* :-) ). In general, I think slides should be very simple: single-level lists,single idea per slide, no footnotes - but I know that generalitieslike that are just guidelines: meant to be broken, given a good enough cause.Imagine a slide showing the results of a benchmark, claiming "X is much faster than Y!" You might want to talk briefly about how theresults were obtained, and about the impact of the results, but you would also need to be able to tell the audience they couldindependently verify the results by obtaining a copy of the slidesand visiting the URL contained in the footnote - especially if the resultsare controversial! In this case, it would not matter that the URLwas too small to be legible from the back of the room.How does inverting Eric's idea sound: invent a new kind of footnote, let's call it, say, a "pnote", which is treated exactly like a footnote in all exports *except* beamer. In beamer, footnotes end up in the frame and pnotes end up in the notes. Not sure whether the implementation would be as simple as this makes it sound, but who knows?[1] Thanks, Nick [1] Well, OK: Carsten knows...FWIW, I like this idea. I think it tracks the mapping between beamerand LaTeX very well. In my experience, beamer slide shows are an aid in the spoken presentation of a LaTeX article. Beamer does a good job of mapping the higher level LaTeX sectioning commands, with some themes that automatically display down to subsection. To my mind, frames in beamer capture lower-level structure (e.g. subsubsection, paragraph, subparagraph) in their (often over-used) bulleted lists, and (more appropriately) thephotographs, diagrams, maps etc. that are inserted as figures in theLaTeX article. As others on the list have noted, LaTeX footnotes also map fairly directly to beamer footnotes. This leaves most of the text of the article, which from my perspectivemaps to beamer notes. Marking off notes with the headline below the last one that deals with frames and their paraphernalia seems natural to me. The typical org-mode file that exports to LaTeX will have bigchunks that transfer very readily to the notes sections of a beamer presentation. I don't know whether the idea makes sense from the point of view ofimplementation, though, because I can't really read the org-mode Lispcode owing to my own illiteracy.
