That would be a linear interpolation of beat _duration_.

The alternative is linear interpolation of beat _frequency_.

The result of this will be very close to exponential, for
a reasonable relative tempo change (in the range 1/2 to 2/1).
Outside that range, and if the ramp takes more than a few
seconds I wonder if humans will do exponential accurately
enough for the difference to matter at all.

For Ardour, we have generally used this as a reference paper:


with a modified version of the equations (basically switching between duration and frequency)
