Interestingly, I just used ACW and Equalize Tempo on a song that has 2 measures in it that are 2 beats long while the rest of the song is 4 beats. I figured I was going to have to edit it but it automatically picked up on those 2 measures and assigned them 2 beats.

I use the ET function when a song has slight variations in the tempo. I tend to play the song and use the L key to insert the bar lines on the 1 beat. You can go back and edit or move those lines if you missed the 1 by a bit. I find that if I simply tell it to ET it seems to do it rather well. It forces everything into the same tempo with stretching the audio to match the tempo. If you are really close it's totally transparent. So if the tempos of the measures are lets say..... 99.5, 99, 100.2, 100.5, 99.8, and you select 100 as the equalization tempo, you shouldn't hear a difference but it will now line up for the use of midi in a DAW because it's no longer variating, but now rock solid on 100BPM.

I'm still spending more time on working on this than I would like. In other words, I'm still learning and figuring this out. I only recently started using the ACW and the addition of ET was a game changer. After the ACW and ET does it's thing, I go back to the main screen and fix the chords and apply the proper structure to the song using markers.
