Subject:Markers in the Stretch view

I just purchased Acid Pro 2.0 and I am trying to do this
(This is hard to explain for a non-musician...):

I openned a non-acidized WAV file to see how I can have it
synchronized with the tempo of my project. This file is a
keyboard line that was recorded with a not-so-tight tempo,
meaning that during the 8 seconds or so, the tempo varies a
little bit.

After opening the file, I noticed that Acid made an OK job
at identifying the start, end and some other middle notes.

The way I understood markers is that they can be used to
force the stretching to respect certain points as, for
example, whole note points. So I started adjusting the
markers so that they fit on the WAV precisely where the
whole notes should be.

Now, when I play back this track, the marker points seem to
never be considered.

Am I missing the point about the use of markers? Am I
supposed to be able to synchronize the whole notes of
an "irregular" WAV line onto the "regular" beats of my
project?
