How to recover Mac Notes data lost after iCloud sync toggle?

Mac Notes not syncing with iCloud; toggling sync settings causing data loss

In several community discussions on syncing issues between Notes and iCloud there is the advice to check the iCloud settings in System. Sometimes there is the suggestion to toggle iCloud sync to trigger the syncing. I tried this and immediately lost all non-synced local information, either updates on existing notes or entire new notes. This represented several hours of typing and preparations, and the data loss is obviously quite frustrating .


Anyone with an idea on how to recover notes on the Mac that haven't been synced?
