If I want to do piece-wise I can even implement it with a single line in the header. (I usually don't want that, though). Your way is tedious unless you are very certain about your structure. Say I want a point in between: > 1. <2-> Two more to go > 2. <3-> One more to go I would have to renumber stuff throughout the reminder of the slide. Personally, I find that I often do, but perhaps this is a flaw in my organization skills? I would rather use the IMO more stable \pause command, but this is still not elegant. What I ask for is a more general approach, which is perhaps not specific to beamer/does not rely on LaTeX commands. Consider an example with a block #+begin_src org ** Beamer title :B_frame: :PROPERTIES: :BEAMER_env: frame :END: - points leading up to example - I want a pause before presenting the example ## I could put in a pause here, ## but it belongs to the example. ## Logically, it thus does not belong here *** pause :B_ignoreheading: :PROPERTIES: :BEAMER_env: ignoreheading :END: \pause ## I have to impose a pause in a separate block. ## But this is an annoying hack. *** Letting variables take on value. :B_example: :PROPERTIES: :BEAMER_env: example :END: ## a \pause is no good here, as the title is not hidden Let $x = y$ and $y=1$. Then $x=1$. #+end_src It would be nicer to have a pause tag/property, say. It would also be more org-ish, and could work across exporters. Pause of the <n> syntax is not that pretty, and is beamer-specific. Perhaps in general it would be more beneficial to think of a org-e-slides, and a specialized org-e-slides-beamer? (The main reason for using Beamer to me is math and note support). –Rasmus -- When in doubt, do it!
