Maybe you didn't get it on your frame but even with lugs on mine, I did one joint at a time completely and when I came to join the top tube to the seat tube, it had moved about an inch too high.
So i guess you just get to hold it all together straight while you braze it up without it moving from heat distortion. I imagine its less of an issue with a jig

For a fillet brazed frame, what are the benefits of tacking up the whole frame then going back over doing proper fillets versus completing each joint as you go?
I did each joint as I went on my first frame (bb lug, rest fillets) and was going to do the same on my next frame which will be totally filleted.
I would have just done as before but I noticed recently in a CP thread that I can’t find now (think it was someone that used to work at Shand?) that they had completely assembled the frame with racks and were then going back over doing the fillets.
They were building with a jig whereas I’ll be building out of my vice if it’ll make any difference.
