Could you elaborate a bit more what you are requesting here?

Some skins e.g. Tango and Deere do have controls to edit a beatgrid, and all skins have the ability to Change the BPM by right-clicking a track in the library, or by editing the BPM tab in the track properties editor.

Beatgrid editing controls are also available in the MIDI controller wizard, under the BPM menu.

I checked the midi controller wizard now but didn't find the requested controls.
The library contextmenu is usable but not very fast. (find title; right click; hover and move; left click)

Mixxx has
- beats_adjust_faster
- beats_adjust_slower
- beats_translate_curpos
- beats_translate_match_alignment
- beats_translate_earlier
- beats_translate_later

Mixxx hasn't
- beats_set_halve
- beats_set_double
- beats_set_twothirds
- beats_set_threehalves
- beats_set_threefourths
- beats_set_fourthirds
(I don't know the correct terms.)

OK, in this case it's a personal wish.
I don't want these controls as ui elements in the official mixxx skins.
But it would be good to have the possibility and to fill the small gap of controls. ;)

My idea is to speed up the workflow for preparing tracks/beatgrids. And it makes realy fun to work with.
FYI: clone my repo and test the editdeck (WIP) https://github.com/22degrees/RoundCorners
The "EDIT"-Button in the left upper corner in each deck.

MIDI control for fixing incorrect BPM detection would be incredibly welcome.

The default skin now doesn't have these options in the main UI body, one has to go back into the media library to use a submenu, which is a bit of a workflow nightmare.

The pads on many controllers now would be perfect for binding such to.

FYI
in Mixxx 2.3 there's no need to go back to the library anymore: you can open the track context menu by right-clicking on a track property in decks: title, artist, comment (Tango only). There you have a 'Adjust BPM' menu with all options.

You can also double-click on artist/title fileds in the decks to open the Track Properties window. Besides the track metadata, it has a second tab 'BPM' with all BPM options where you can also tap the BPM or enter a value manually.
