Can someone tell me how to create song with time signature 5/4 or 9/8 or even 13/8?the last one probably is not possible,but the other ones?

Yes, 5/4 can be done as a bar of 3/4 followed by a bar of 2/4.

You can set a range of bars to 5/4, by selecting a range of bars, and then choosing Edit- Time Signature and set to 5/4. Alternatively you can use the Edit bar settings to set number of beats for a given bar, but it can only be 1,2,3 or 4.

9/8 is best done by instead calling it 3/4 (with a triplet feel) and picking a 3/4 style in swing feel.

13/8 cannot be done directly, but we do have 13/8 styles in the "About Time" MIDI styles disk http://www.pgmusic.com/addons.styles.sets.php?set=38&os=mac

The 13/8 style sounds like this: http://64.40.109.32/audio/allstyledemos/13_8_pop.m4a

The "about Time" disk is part of the mega, ultra or everything pak ( not part of the pro pak ).
You can get it separately for $29.
