+# handoutWithNotes.sty 2021/10/21 v1.0
+
+Create Handouts with notes from your LaTeX beamer presentation.
+This package provides pgfpages layouts to place notes next to the scaled slides.
+By default the note area is empty providing rules for handwritten notes but with version 1.0 also beamer note pages can be used there.

+
+## Quickstart
+To use this package load it in a document using beamer and select a layout:
+
+Minimal example:
+```
+\documentclass{beamer}
+\usepackage{handoutWithNotes}
+\pgfpagesuselayout{3 on 1 with notes}
+\begin{document}
+…
+\end{document}
+```
+
+Currently the following layouts are implemented by this package:
+
+- `1 on 1 with notes landscape`
+- `2 on 1 with notes landscape`
+- `1 on 1 with notes`
+- `2 on 1 with notes`
+- `3 on 1 with notes`
+- `4 on 1 with notes`
+
+Additionally we support the following package options:
+
+- `slide-frame=true/false` draw a frame around the slides
+- `note-frame=true/false` draw a frame around the note pages
+- `beamer-notes=true/false` use beamer notepages instead of the area for handwritten notes
+- `lines=<Number>` modify the number of lines in the notesbox (default is 8)
+
+Additionally the pgfpages options can be used.
