Hi Chris,

If you have one of the later versions of BB, just set it up for 4/4 time by selecting an appropriate 4/4 style, then Rightclick on the first bar and select "Bar Settings" - in the Bar Settings window you will find a place to change the number of beats in a bar. Sometimes it sounds better to use two smaller bars to make up a 5/4 or 6/4, depending on desired pulse for the tune. For example, a bar changed to 3 beats followed by a bar changed to 2 beats can yield a 5/4 that has the pulse of the famous, "Take Five" song by Dave Brubeck. Two bars of 3 might make a 6/4 sound that works, or perhaps 3 bars of two. Experiment if you have to do so.

Continue on like that to cover the rest of the song.

Important to realize that this will force BB to play the song as desired, but doesn't make a notation sheet that musicians would desire to read. But you already have a lead sheet there.
