There is a command "equalize tempo" which stretches the audio to fit an even tempo.
Make sure you have a relatively stable tempo to start with, maybe all bars within +-10 bpm from an average that needs your best estimate.

It's important to always correctly set Bar 1 first. If not, everything else to follow is incorrect. Also, if you know the tempo of the imported audio file and set the tempo to that bpm, opening the ACW and clicking on the 'Analyze' button will open a window that prompts the ACW to automatically add bar lines based on the current tempo and analyze the chords as well. I've found this to be a useful tool when I'm working with audio I know the bpm of the song.
