Try the following:

1. In the LyX file, use Insert > Custom Inset > Beamer Note to insert
  speaker notes.
2. For each speaker note, put the cursor inside the note, right-click
  and select Action Specifications, which nests another inset inside
  the note. In the nested inset, give the Beamer specification for
  which slide(s) the note applies to. For instance, <2> means the note
  only applies to the second slide of the frame. Note that you have to
  type the angle brackets; LyX does not supply them.
3. You now have three options for generating a PDF file.
   1. To get a PDF file that contains both slides and notes, add the
      line "\setbeameroption{show notes}" to the LaTeX preamble. The
      notes will appear on separate pages embedded in the PDF file.
   2. To get a PDF file that contains just the notes, change that to
      "\setbeameroption{show only notes}".
   3. To get a PDF file that contains only the slides (no notes), do
      neither of the above. The default is to hide notes.

Pro tip: if you put both the \setbeameroption lines in the preamble, you can switch among the three options just by commenting one or both out.

Paul,

  Thanks. I read about the actions in either the LyX beamer manual or the
KOMA-Script beamer user guide but was not sure just how to use them.

Best regards,

Rich
