Also check the dropout alignment, to make sure they're parallel. Again, Sheldon has a home shop method.
The one tool I think every frame-messer-abouter needs is a hangar alignment tool, which the last and maybe most critical alignment. When the hangar isn't aligned to the wheel, shifting suffers, and sometimes a lot.
