I am trying to print handouts with notes from a beamer presentation.
Adding handoutWithNotes.sty as pointed in Creating latex-beamer handouts with notes
does not compile in my latex file:

I have also tested solution of beamer in Beamer - handoutWithNotes not working properly:
\mode<handout>{
\usepackage{pgfpages}
\pgfpagesuselayout{6 on 1}[a4paper,border shrink=5mm]
\setbeamertemplate{note page}{%
\fontsize{12pt}{32pt}\selectfont
Notes
\rule{\textwidth}{1pt} \rule{\textwidth}{1pt} \rule{\textwidth}{1pt} \rule{\textwidth}{1pt} \rule{\textwidth}{1pt} \rule{\textwidth}{1pt} \rule{\textwidth}{1pt} \rule{\textwidth}{1pt}\par
}
\setbeameroption{show notes}
}
\makeatletter
\def\beamer@framenotesbegin{% at beginning of slide
\gdef\beamer@noteitems{}%
\gdef\beamer@notes{{}}% used to be totally empty.
}
\makeatother
Adding these lines before the \begin{document} in my MWE works fine with simple frames, but not with frames with several slides included in each one.
When there are several slides in the same frame, the above beamer solution mixes and overlays the different slides in one printed slide like this:
In this case, the solution of Beamer: error while making handouts is to go to every slide and add `<...|handout:0> if you want to remove something or change the 0 by any slide number where that content should appear.
However, the real presentation has many frames and about five slides per frame. The presentation contains slides with itemizes <+-> <x-y> slides, \visible<x-> to add images, \onlyslides<x->, so it results in a complex task to make a proper handout with line notes.
It looks like the solution of adding the style handoutWithNotes.sty of Creating latex-beamer handouts with notes avoids making the slide by slide differentiation with |handout:x.
Therefore, I would like to ask how I can compile the MWE using this style. I am using MacTex2021 TeX distribution in my computer.
