As the subject says, is there one that can do the equivalent of what I
have currently within the latex file below?
%\setbeameroption{hide notes} % Only slides
\setbeameroption{show notes on second screen=right} % Both
%\setbeameroption{show only notes} % Only notes

I would do something like this:
In the preable ot the tex file put
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\newbool{both}
\boolfalse{both}
\newbool{notes}
\boolfalse{notes}
\newbool{slides}
\booltrue{slides}
and
\ifbool{slides}{\setbeameroption{hide notes}}{}
\ifbool{both}{\setbeameroption{show notes on second screen=right}}{}
\ifbool{slides}{\setbeameroption{show only notes}}{}
and the in the makefile something like
notes: beamerfile.tex
perl -i -p \
-e 's/\\booltrue\{both\}/\\boolfalse\{both\}/g;' \
-e 's/\\booltrue\{slides\}/\\boolfalse\{slides\}/g;' \
-e 's/\\boolfalse\{notes\}/\\booltrue\{notes\}/g;' \
beamerfile.tex
latexmk beamerfile.tex
plus the other two possibilites...
then a
make notes
should do the trick
el
To email me replace 'nospam' with 'el'
In the preable ot the tex file put
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\newbool{both}
\boolfalse{both}
\newbool{notes}
\boolfalse{notes}
\newbool{slides}
\booltrue{slides}

\ifbool{slides}{\setbeameroption{hide notes}}{}
\ifbool{both}{\setbeameroption{show notes on second screen=right}}{}

What happens if you don't clean the `*.nav` files?

Thank you. This too looks like a good way to generate docs.

It is not necessary to actually change the .tex with perl, you can pass
the options via the `pretex` option of latexmk, see e.g. the example in

P.S. if you then also choose different jobnames for the different
options you might avoid some unnecessary recompilations

Sam,
That will also work, but then you need to compile it with pretex every
time, which I sometimes don't.
