I am creating slides and want to uncover text from a list in steps. To avoid having to number each \item (a pain when adding a line afterwords), I add \pause after lines that are unveiled in steps. Adding \uncover<+-> as advised instead of \onslide with pause, does not solve the problem.
I would like to uncover the whole slide transparent at the beginning as a hint of things to come. If I do this with an initial line is only shown once the first part is visible. Any solutions?
MWE:
\documentclass{beamer}
\setbeamercovered{transparent}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{This is what I get with pause}
\begin{itemize}[<+->]
\item line 0
\item line 1a \uncover<+->{line 1b}
\item line 2 (this line should be transparent from the start of the slide)
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
