Default Tempo Question

Disclaimer - I'm from Cubase land so bear with me ...

I'm trying to figure out tempos in Reaper, and I'm used to a tempo track. After some searching I found that I could manipulate the tempo using time signature markers - I like that they show up in the track window, but I miss the precise editing Cubase's tempo track gave me - but I can live with it for sure.

Anyway, when I use the "Beats (position, rate, length)" setting for timebase, and applying temp markers to an existing song including several tracks I get some funky behavior. If I put a tempo marker somewhere in the middle, Reaper adds a marker for the original tempo at the beginning - make sense. But it then seems to scale the audio for each track from the start of that audio, with the result that each track is scaled differently. Surely, it should scale all tracks from the beginning of the marker I inserted?

It seems I can work arouind this by splitting the tracks at the tempo marker, so this isn't a huge deal - but have I missed something?

I don't know... as I too seem to be missing (maybe) the same thing. Also from the Cubendo side of things, I find the tempo/time-sig markers somewhat frustrating.

and when trying to edit the sequence of a track that uses tempo/time-sig markers, some things get really weird: http://www.cockos.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9497

I long for this and my automation woes to be dissipated.
