Maybe this can be useful, but i couldn't make it work: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/152472/adding-newlines-while-writing-text-to-a-file

(But this only works for fragile-frames in beamer)

[cebe]

okay, making all frames fragile is not an option but thanks for the suggestion!

What's the big issue realizing writing \n symbols instead of \par or \\ to an output file? I do see there's a workaround, but why is that even needed?

If that were supported, one could probably write notes in Markdown properly. See pdfpc/pdfpc#476, #3.

LaTeX strips whitespace by default so at the point where we write the notes to a file we do not have the original file structure anymore.
