How about some context, Dilan? A sentence at least in which the phrase appears? It is important to give us a little help when you want to know the meaning of a word or phrase.

The internet present it in all sorts of contexts:

A beat list will give you a vertical list of all editors within a specified beat. For example, if you are pitching a toy or game for this holiday season. You could purchase a beat list of parenting editors.

a beat list is statements of the form "Beat [ time] [level]"

A “beat sheet” or a “step sheet” or (as you refer to it) a “beat list” is simply a list of the “beats” within the story. Beats are the sign posts within your screenplay that allow one to understand the narrative and see the flow and direction.

Its output is a beat list (and optionally an onset list). The function definition is written in Interface2CLAM.h while its implementation is in Interface2BeatRoot.cxx.

etc.

I'm sorry, I thought that it has exactly one meaning so I didn't think that it would be necessary. It is from a girl's description of her father who is a screen writer.

Then he turned and his face changed. For a moment he didn't look like he had story arcs and demographics running behind his eyes, as if he say the world through a grid of beat lists and foreign residuals. He just looked tired, in need of some hot caffeine, and like her dad.

That is the paragraph.

Thanks,

Dilan

Probably the third one above, then: a step list/sheet.
