"Beat grid" is what traktor calls their beat marker editing stuff... it 
is a way to quickly set up perfect beat markers.  See 
http://www.djtechtools.com/2008/04/09/quickly-set-up-perfect-beat-grids/ 
(or skip straight to the video at 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBzejpuGk5Y ) for what their version of 
it looks like.

But really, any form of better control over this would be appreciated... 
I have found mixxx's automatic BPM detection to be very unreliable, so 
I've been using a perl script to load the .mixxxtrack.xml file with BPM 
values taken from bpmdj.  It's pretty ugly, and it only gets the BPM 
right, not the offset within the track.  So the beat markers in the 
waveform view almost never line up for me.  An interactive way to 
fine-tune the BPM and bump the marker offsets left/right (so they line 
up with the kicks) would be really really nice (in my opinion).

Supporting tracks that change in BPM would also be very useful, but 
probably more work.
