I often have a lot of notes for a specific slide in Beamer. When I try to print them out, Beamer leaves some of the notes off because they don't fit on the slide. Changing the font size sometimes solves the problem, but that can make the text hard to read. Is there a way to have Beamer tell if all the notes will fit on a page and if they don't, make a new frame with the rest of the notes?

Are external note pages (not from within a frame) an option?
\documentclass{beamer}
\setbeameroption{show notes}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{blub}
abc
\end{frame}
\note{text}
\note{more text}
\end{document}

In my preamble, I have a command to make notes with bullets. \newcommand{\inote}[1]{\note{ $\bullet$ #1 \\ \vs}} and when I need to print out the notes I make this change in the preamble \setbeameroption{show only notes}. I then print out the PDF. I always use this inote command within a frame. Does that help? Sep 9, 2016 at 2:36

@AQFT If you use such non-standard setup, it would be good to have a minimal working example (MWE) in your question, that demonstrates you problem. Sep 9, 2016 at 10:51

Sorry for the delay, I was having trouble paring down my preamble. Clumsily, I have added notes until "10" does not fit on the frame. \documentclass{beamer} \mode<presentation> \usepackage{amsmath} \newcommand{\vs}{\vspace{10pt}} \newcommand{\inote}[1]{\note{ $\bullet$ #1 \\ \vs}} \setbeameroption{show notes} \begin{document} \begin{frame}[allowframebreaks] \inote{1} \inote{2} \inote{3} \inote{4} \inote{5} \inote{6} \inote{7} \inote{8} \inote{9} \inote{10} \end{frame} \end{document} Sep 11, 2016 at 14:16
If you put [allowframebreaks] on the frame then beamer will automatically break the slide and change the title to Really Long Slide I, Really Long Slide II, etc. See example below and see it in action at the link
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}[allowframebreaks]{Really Long Slide}
\blindtext[5]
\end{frame}
\end{document}

1But does this also work for the content of a
\note{}? Sep 7, 2016 at 19:03 -
@samcarter If that is what the OP is asking then they should look at this answer Sep 7, 2016 at 19:14

That might indeed be a duplicate, at least as I understood the question. Let's wait for feedback from the OP. Sep 7, 2016 at 19:16

In my preamble, I have defined a command to create notes with bullets (\newcommand{\inote}[1]{\note{ $\bullet$ #1 \\ \vs}}). I use the \inote command within a frame. When I am ready to print out my notes, I use \setbeameroption{show only notes} in my preamble and then print out the PDF. Does that help? Sep 9, 2016 at 2:42
