The problem lies with your not being able to view the entire frame you intend to capture (in sections), as you focus and tilt. So you must continuously adjust - shift - focus - adjust - shift - focus - etc. until you arrive at something close to what you're looking for. Even with a view camera we must essentially do the same thing; though we're able to view the entire frame as we're doing it. What you're really looking for is a something like a 3.25" x 4.25" sensor back. ;~?)
