* latex export: using levels to export to beamer and article-only mode (with beamerarticle)

  I am attempting to make a presentation and lecture notes out of org, 
similar to what I have done before in normal latex.

I would like to use the heading levels to determine what does or does 
not get displayed in presentation mode.  The very lowest levels would be 
seen only in lecture notes; the latter might be extensive text.
(Note that the lecture notes are to be in the latex class, article, with 
\beamerarticle.... Not as the beamer "notes" per se .  Beamer allows for 
"modes" to hide article content from slides)

I am an org mode and emacs newbie and seem to be making newbie mistakes 
in approach, though, so I would like to ask for ideas on the "best" 
approach for this.

I would like to do something like the following...

* section
** subsection
*** frame (but possibly subsubsection in article mode.)
**** one (and only one) item within an itemized list environment
***** \only<article>{ \paragraph{%s}}
****** \only<article>{ \subparagraph{%s}}
******* \only<article>{%s}
******** \only<article>{%s}

I would like to avoid blocks or labels for this and just determine this 
by heading level, as --at least in my newbie hands-- moving things 
around when writing/revising is a lot simpler if I just stick with 
simple outlining.
For the subset of work involving lecture notes, I would be willing to 
lose ability to change frame levels.
I am using a day old Org version.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be very much appreciated!

Jay,

I do something similar but don't use beamer.  I have two sets of latex
output from my notes, one for handouts and one for lecture notes.  I
use an arrangement of sub-headings without titles but with tags for
describing what is included in each set of output.  It is all put
together with an SCons script to take the specific notes and generate
a PDF output for notes and handouts.

How this could be folded into a beamer presentation I am not sure.

If you would like details let me know and I can send you a
representative sample to play with.  It is kind of complicated,
unfortunately, since it also makes use of additional entries in
org-export-latex-classes, but since I have it working it meets
my needs.  YMMV.

Mark
