The horizontal navigational bar of this beamer presentation
\documentclass[utf8,compress]{beamer}
\usetheme{Singapore}
\setbeamertemplate{mini frames}{}
\begin{document}
\section{1}
\subsection{a}
\frame{\frametitle{Beamer navigation}Frame text}
\subsection{b}
\frame{Frame text}
\subsection{c}
\frame{Frame text}
\section{2}
\frame{Frame text}
\section{3}
\frame{Frame text}
\end{document}
shows one entry for each section of the presentation (in this case 1,2 and 3).
For my purposes — rather than showing entries for each section — I need to have entries for the subsections displayed, so that where it reads "1,2,3" now it will then read "a,b,c".
I have been plowing through the Beamer manual, but without success. Suggestions anyone? Thanks.

That section navigation bar is dynamic. I think it's not well prepared to work for subsections instead, though it's possible to display the subsection numbers a, b, c additionally in the header.
That's why I recommend to change the presentation sectioning structure if this kind of navigation is needed: you could make subsections to sections and sections to parts.
The miniframes theme uses
\insertnavigation
ofbeamerbasenavigation.sty
which calls\dohead
ofbeamerbasemisc.sty
. Have a look at the code there:You may check the produced
.nav
files for the\headcommand
calls (made bybeamerbasesection.sty
).
