5/4 can either be one cell of 2/4 and another of 3/4 or you can revers it and put the 3/4 measure before the 2/4 measure depending on the song.

Sure, it's a work-around, and I really think if Peter Gannon had any idea of where his program and computing in general would have gone back in the pre-Windows, PC-DOS days, he would have done some things very differently. But then back in the DOS days, a lot of things that are easy now were impossible back then.

Think of the matrix as full of cells, not measures and get creative.
