Rosegarden has a feature that can sometimes help with this -- Set
Tempos from Beat Segment. (Hm, wonder why it doesn't say "tempi".)

To use it, record a new segment in which (on a MIDI keyboard or
whatever) you tap one note at each beat -- tapping along with the real
time of the audio or whatever you want to align it with. Then select
that segment and activate the function (Composition -> Set Tempos from
Beat Segment). Rosegarden will then calculate a tempo change for each
beat, such that all the other MIDI segments will have their beats
moved to the times you tapped at.
