\onlynotes{note list}
in the preamble limits the notes that are output to those listed in note list.
Supposing that slide 5 has three note environments associated with it,
\onlynotes{5} arranges that only the note pages 5-1, 5-2, and 5-3 are
printed.
The \onlyslides and \onlynotes commands function similarly to
the command \includeonly described in Section 9.1.2. An interactive
means of selecting slides and notes to process may be set up exactly as
illustrated in Section 9.1.3 with the \typein command:
\typein[\slides]{Which slides to do?}
\onlyslides{\slides}
During processing, the message ‘Which slides to do?’ is typed to the
monitor, and the user replies with the desired slide numbers. A similar
scheme may be set up for \onlynotes.
A sample slide file
An example of input text with the slides class, with a leading page,
overlay, and note, and using the clock option, is given here. The fourpage
result is shown on the opposite page.
