The problem with many non 3/4, 4/4 styles is PG is still going to put 3 or 4 chords per measure. So for example, if you have a 5/4 style in a 4/4 measure, the first chord in the measure will be on the beat, but none of the others will be.

I tend to think of the spaces in the numbered matrix as cells instead of measures.

So if I want to make 5/4 I would make the first cell have three beats and the second cell 2 (or vice versa).

9/8? I could do 3 cells of 3 beats each.

7/4? One cell with 3 and another with 4 (or vice versa).

This doesn't work with notation, but I find the notation feature a convenience and not a full blown notation editor. However it works our musically.

There are a number of work-arounds to overcome some of the limitations of BiaB, and this is one of them.

BiaB is a great program, but it does have it's limitations. It gets better and better every year, and some of the past limitations have been solved. Until PG solves this one, this is the best solution I can think of.
