Whenever I put an empty headline and I add some tag like :B_note: or whatever, the tag end up in the headline. ** Some Frame *** :B_note: :PROPERTIES: :BEAMER_env: note :END: [2012-09-03 lun. 09:22] blah blah is exported as : \begin{frame}{Some Frame} \note{:B\_note: blah blah} \end{frame} I think that the tag should never be used for the headline.
