For me personally, if I am trying something like this, I would use the BiaB sister program called Realband.

You probably already have RB (it comes with BiaB) and the ACW in RB doesn't seem so convoluted to me. But that's just me.
RB seems to handle tempos and time signatures much better in my experience. It handles some time sigs BiaB simply can't.

You can import audio, use ACW to establish tempo map and chords (in conjunction with chords window) and still generate individual tracks as desired afterwards.
You actually get more tracks to work with and more options in many cases.
Just a thought..

In t-breaks example;
if you opened the wav file in RB instead
then set the tempo to 129
THEN open ACW
(tell it to use the existing file and not open something new in the resulting popup)
you would see how RB interprets it at 129

Now in the ACW you can play the song and tap the F8 key on '1' of any measure that needs adjusting.
You'll see RB recalculate the chords/tempo on the fly.

After you send it back to RB and you can still adjust the Chords window .. then regenerate any desired tracks.

It's a different workflow, but seems more intuitive to me.
