Take a look at the Outro Range for one of the tracks. Songs that use Beat Mixing have gray and blue stripes in the Intro and Outro Ranges. Gray stripes mark the beginning of each measure of music. If you zoom in far enough, MixMeister shows the individual beats in each measure.
With Beat Mixing, MixMeister marks an Intro Range and an Outro Range in every song, with one sprocket at the beginning and another at the end of each range. Adjust the positions of the Intro and Outro Ranges by moving the sprockets.
Zoom in far enough, and you'll be able to see the individual beats in each measure of the Intro and Outro Ranges.

Try some or all of these techniques for customizing your beat mix.
Synchronize the two songs for a longer period of time. In the outgoing track, drag the first sprocket in the Outro Range to the left to make the Outro Range longer. Then, drag the last sprocket in the Intro Range for the next track to the right.
Start mixing the incoming song sooner. Click the red bar at the top of the Outro Range, and drag the bar to the left. MixMeister snaps the position of the beginning of the range to the closest quarter note by default, if Snap To Beat is enabled (which it is by default).
Speed the music up a little. Grab the red tempo box (at the bottom of the screen), and drag it up a little bit to increase the tempo at that point.
Keep the tempo the same over the entire overlap. Drag the tempo boxes in the Intro Range so they are at the same level.
Now play your beat mix. Zoom out a little so that you can see a tempo box on either side of the Outro Range. Notice that MixMeister plays the song at its original tempo during the middle of the song, and then starts to adjust the tempo of the outgoing song just before the Outro Range starts. It also continues to change the tempo of the incoming song after its Intro Range is over, until it gets back to the original tempo for that song.
