Yes, this is what I'm currently doing. More precisely, I

- edit the prelude

Yes. When I don't want it anymore, I can remove it. But I'd rather keep it for next time. Is there a way to comment out a local setup line? (Add an extra '#' at the beginning?)

Yes, what I'm doing is this (using a package described here http://www.guidodiepen.nl/2009/07/creating-latex-beamer-handouts-with-notes/):
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{handoutWithNotes}
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \pgfpagesuselayout{3 on 1 with notes}[a4paper,border shrink=5mm]
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \renewcommand\pgfsetupphysicalpagesizes{%
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \pdfpagewidth\pgfphysicalwidth\pdfpageheight\pgfphysicalheight%
#+LaTeX_HEADER: }
(The last 3 lines are for xelatex compatibility.)

Thanks for the suggestion. I could use that as well indeed.
