The same way you handled the other drywall to Hardie joints, except you may want to use a corner trowel.

If you're going to use a corner trowel, close the door so your friends won't see you with it.
Blum, that reminds me of a joke my mother told me when I was a teenager.
What do fat girls and mopeds have in common?
They're both fun to ride until your friends see you on one!

Durabond 90. Mud one side of the corner, let it dry, then mud the other side. It's easier for beginners that way; doing them both at once isn't hard, but it's a little tricky for first timers.
I have a corner trowel hidden somewhere......

Doesn't matter what tools you use inside the house, as long as your friends see you outside washing your bazooka.
Personally, I don't know that I'd bother running tape down from the ceiling onto the backerboard walls. I'd rather stick tile to clean backerboard than drywall mud.

Not bad. If you already bought metal corner bead for the outsides, take it back and get a roll of Strait Flex corner tape. It's a thick perforated paper tape made for outside corners. It's a little pricey but it's worth it.
If you smack a corner later on, you end up with a dent to fix instead of a wad of bent metal that's never going back where it was.

Metal bead already there...too late. Maybe next time.
Sanding is going well. I'm using flexible blocks to dress the corners and rough edges first. Then I'll switch to 220 grid style and smooth out the fields and blend everything in.
I thought about running a fine bead of paintable caulk down the inside corners for a fine smoothing touch. Anyone ever done this?

I stopped my backer board short from the ceiling about 1/4", and running tile up to about 1/8" from the ceiling sheetrock, and using color matched caulking at the ceiling/tile joint to finish it off. It's made by the grout manufacturer.

I bought all my doors as solid seconds. Made all my jams. All the trim for my windows from rough opening to finish. Made all my moldings, which ended up being 3 piece. Made my own cabinets and counters excluding doors and drawers. Measured everything like 6 times. Bla, bla, bla. People come by and see it say, "Nice, have any beer".

Is it common practice to put that many screws in the drywall?

Whoever suggested using clothesline rope for tile spacers, thanks. It's a great idea. I'm using 3/16 nylon and it blows those little tile spacers out of the water. I cut the rope sections to about 8". I leave the bottom part protruding to make it easy to pull them out.
In other news, we had to deal with defective tub issues and some crafty thinking about the best way to level the floor. I'll be using a different size notched trowel in various areas under the hardie boards. I'll check again after that and might scratch in a few patches with thinset and a trowel before setting floor tiles.
Also, I realized too late that my tub alcove rough opening is 60 1/2" which is 1/4" too big. This posed problems with tile overlap at the tub lip. Rather than rip everything back out I decided to use a 1/2" notched trowel to spread thinset for the wall tiles. The added thickness makes up the difference just about perfect. When the mortar mix is just right, working with the heavy application is not too cumbersome.
Checkout the warped tub skirt. Also, the skirt hit the floor and the feet were still 1/4" off the floor. F'ed up!

You can see the difference in the original floor mortar bed as much as 1/2" from one end to the other.

No water-proofing behind the enclosure tile?

If you're not running a steam generator, you don't need waterproofing under the tile. If it's a steamer, you gotta have it.
