Thank you Simon. The support for non-integer tempos is an old request, but it came up again here in Mario’s post about workflow. Thanks for your action.

There's a method to my madness. Sometimes. Very rarely really. When the wind is north-north-west ... obviously

I've added non-integer tempo as a feature request, id# 4993 I'm pretty sure that the boss mentioned that this was going to be delivered and was on the 'todo' list a few years ago. Seems they still haven't got around to it. RealBand can do it. I think just about every DAW imaginable can do it. I think it's been requested since about the inception of the program.

If there was a like button on this forum as requested, I would give you a like  I don't believe UBB supports Like buttons sadly! Thank you Simon. The support for non-integer tempos is an old request, but it came up again here in Mario’s post about workflow. Thanks for your action. Happy to add it! I know it's a very old request lol. There's a method to my madness. Sometimes. Very rarely really. When the wind is north-north-west ... obviously South-north-west actually I'm pretty sure that the boss mentioned that this was going to be delivered and was on the 'todo' list a few years ago. Seems they still haven't got around to it.
RealBand can do it. I think just about every DAW imaginable can do it. I think it's been requested since about the inception of the program. Yep, but it didn't seem to be in our database so I added it. I'm sure we're all aware that it's a popular request.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could drag and drop an audio track or tracks into the track view? If there are other tracks already we could align the audio with them. BiaB could either determine that audio track's tempo or match said track to BiaB tempo. If BiaB time signature were still only integers the audio track would have to be stretched or shortened accordingly. This could take the place of the ACW and all of its problems. YMMV I am seriously intrigued by this suggestion. I tend to work in the other direction: I make a rhythm backing track then take the WAV file created by BIAB into another program, my notation program. Thus I don't use or need many of the features others use, such as VST3 support or the ACW. One reason I must go that way is the fact that BIAB is limited to tempos of integers only. If BIAB supported non-integer tempos, I could match up BIAB files with other software better. Or, as I think Mario is suggesting, if BIAB could IMPORT an audio file and normalize the tempo to two decimal places, I think it could change my workflow to keep me working in BIAB longer. One reason I must go that way is the fact that BIAB is limited to tempos of integers only.
If BIAB supported non-integer tempos, I could match up BIAB files with other software better. I know we all keep saying this. BUT WHY? BIAB can create a "tempo map" in the ACW which will match not not only fractional tempos, but varying tempos! So if it can do this why does the BIAB app not have the ability to manage this for us with any midi and audio it or we provide?  Matt, Dan is correct about tempo syncing and the ACW. He's also correct that using the ACW tempo map, BIAB can import an audio file and match fractional tempos as well as varying tempos. Users can also record audio without a click track into BIAB and sync with the ACW. In 2025, using the new Stem Splitter, users can import original audio recorded in 1955, split the recording into five tracks and BIAB using the ACW can tempo map and normalize each of those tracks and sync them with BIAB tracks. The Stem Splitter seems to work with most original or commercial tracks. As a side note. PG Music finalizes all of the Artist Performance Sets - there's currently 18 I believe. All of their demos and tutorials as SGU BIAB songs. Their workflow has always been the reverse of your and others export to DAW workflow. They import DAW material to sync and normalize with BIAB.

Charlie, thank you for your thoughtful analysis here. As usual, I have homework to do!

To try to bring this back to the UI/UX topic, as usual Charlie and Dan are technically correct.
I thought MarioD request:
"Wouldn't it be nice if we could drag and drop an audio track or tracks into the track view? This could take the place of the ACW and all of its problems." was really a plea for improved UX.
It has a it is at the core of what I have been requesting nonstop for three years. UX user experience and workflow are really the same thing.
Hidden in the request from my perspective was the idea of making the tempo track a global thing that worked equally well in all views.
It was not a matter of can it do it?
It was a matter of improving the user experience to make the main views more of an integrated workflow process rather than bolt on's.
Make the Tempo track global along with ability to do tempo mapping. A global track on top of any view would correspond with that view whether it be audio, MIDI or Generated players.
Another global request to Make the Arrangement a global track to better keep track of the arrangement globally in all views.
Let's not lose track of the PGM UX request for input.
Studio One (latest version), Win 11 23H2 , i9 -10940X 3.3 GHz, 32GB Mem, a 4K 40" monitor, PreSonus Studio Live III Console as interface/controller. secondarily test on Reaper, Cakewalk, and S1 on Surface Pro 3 Win 10 (latest versions).

Yes, that was my thought but I like your idea much better. A universal tempo track is the perfect solution.
When you are at the checkout line and they ask if you found everything say "Why, are you hiding stuff?"
