In fact seldom do tempo changes of any kind (intentionally that is  )
I recall only one song that I play where I slowly and steadily ramp up the tempo from a slow start to a fairly rapid finish (which BTW is Fogerty's Who'll Stop The Rain) |
I've done that a far bit in Logic (as well as some earlier DAWs). You can basically draw in any curve you want. It's a lot of work to program in where you want to be "rubato" or where you'd like to slowly increase the tempo, but it can be done. I've also changed time signature to support fermatas, and so on. Useful when you're working with others. I'm happy being "expressive" with time on a solo guitar piece, but if I want to ask others to overdub something, asking them to follow my free time can be a bit much. Having a click track, even if it's varying in tempo makes that all much more feasible. And having the time actually vary can help keep it from being overly stiff.
