Default Odd signatures and workflow

Reaper has some serious issues with odd time signatures, the grid, and workflow in general. It is a real pain to work with a project in 11/8 vs 4/4.

Reaper seems to have certain calculations hard coded for 4/4. What's worse is that trying to modify tempo or time signatures screws everything up.

From the many hours I've worked in reaper this seems to be the most unexpected flaw in reaper since it does so many other things so well.

If you don't believe me, spend some time writing something in an odd time signature(17/16, 11/8, 13/8, etc...) and see how frustrating it can be. Try adding a tempo change and watch all your midi items get screwed up(I once had a midi item shrink to 0 width). Trying to keep the midi synched with the audio is a nightmare(Specially if you use something like project markers to tempo and then have to adjust the tempo).
