Selecting Document Style

Beat is originally developed for screenwriting, but supports extended style definitions. Document style can be selected from Screenplay menu (macOS) or quick settings (iOS). Currently, you have three options: Screenplay, Novel and Stage Play.

Novel Mode

When Novel style is selected, you’ll enter Novel Mode, which behaves a little different from screenwriting mode. See the Novel Tutorial template in app to learn more.
