Make each pnote a paragraph in the beamer-notes

why? :) can you explain why you made this change?

[MaPePeR]

Because when i use

\usepackage{pgfpages}
\setbeameroption{show notes on second screen}

and

\pnote{Line 1}
\pnote{Line 2}

All my notes end up in one line/paragraph on the 'second screen slide'.

[cebe]

Okay, but when you use

\note{Line 1}
\note{Line 2}

it is fine?
If not you might need to add a newline between notes.

[MaPePeR]

No, when using the normal \note i need to write

\note{Line1\\}
\note{Line2}

But this does not work very well for pnotes (without using the sed-script).
When \pnote creates a paragraph (in the \note) the look of the notes-slide is more consistent with the pdfpc-note file.

Note that \\(newline) is different from \par(paragraph). In general I'd like to keep the \pnote command to do nothing different than \note but safe the notes.

Can you try if

\pnote{Line 1}\\
\pnote{Line 2}

or

\pnote{Line 1}

\pnote{Line 2}

solves your issue?

Maybe even this works?

\pnote{Line 1

}
\pnote{Line 2}

whats the reason for having two different notes in one frame in general?

[MaPePeR]

Number 1 does not compile, because 'there is no line to end here'. (That's the reason i used \par instead of \\)
Number 2 does not do anything.
Number 3 does create a paragraph on the beamer-note-slide. (Like \par)

I use several \pnote commands as a workaround for #2.
Code:

\pnote{Line1}%this linebreak is not needed
\pnote{Line2}

Generated pdfpc-notes:

Line1
Line2

Generated beamer-note-slide without this pull request:

Line1 Line2

With this pull request:

Line1
Line2

closing this as pnote is intended to work exactly like note. you have to use the sed script for useful output of pnote notes anyway.
