Times seem to work if the notes are switched off…

Based on this question

There is a gap between the overlay I want to show and the \transduration applied to it.

• overlay 1 is supposed to last 10 seconds but actually lasts only 2 secs)
• overlay 2 is supposed to last 2 seconds but actually lasts only 10 secs)
• …

\documentclass{beamer}

%\setbeameroption{show notes}
\setbeameroption{show notes on second screen=right}
%\setbeameroption{show only notes}

As a workaround you can shift all transdurations by 1 (the last transduration will get lost):

\documentclass{beamer}

%\setbeameroption{show notes}
\setbeameroption{show notes on second screen=right}
%\setbeameroption{show only notes} 

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\begin{frame}<1-4>
	\begin{enumerate}%[<+->]
		\item<1> This is a long item. This is a long item. This is a long item. This is a   long item. This is a long item. This is a long item. This is a long item. This is a long item. This is a long item. This is a long item.
		\item<2> This is a short item. This is a short item.
		\item<3> This is a long item. This is a long item. This is a long item. This is a long item. This is a long item. This is a long item. This is a long item. This is a long item. This is a long item. This is a long item.
		\item<4> This is a short item. This is a short item.
	\end{enumerate}
		
	
	\note<1>{ 
		I get some script to read with the 1st overlay. I have 10 seconds to read it
	}
	\transduration<2>{10}
		
	\note<2>{ 
	I get some script to read with the 2nd overlay. I have now 3 seconds to read it	}
	\transduration<3>{3}
	
	\note<3>{ 
	I get some script to read with the 3rd overlay. I have now 10 seconds to read it	}
	\transduration<4>{10}
	\note<4>{ 
	I get some script to read with the 4th overlay. I have now 2 seconds to read it	}
	\transduration<5>{2}
	\transfade

Notes to self:

• the problem already occurred in TL2014, so while probably related to Onslide on a frame with itemize in notes produces too many slides #776, not exactly the same
• the problem really seem to be the note pages, just with pgfpages and a 1 on 1 layout, it works fine
