For Irish music this is a must. I know there are ways to get the 6/8 sound, but please add true native support for 6/8 (jigs). Bonus points for 9/8 (slip jigs).
Till then you could try Real Band, you can change any time signature to almost any other you want. Just click the signature box and add the change.
>>> add true native support for 6/8 (jigs).
There are RealTracks jigs already...

http://www.pgmusic.com/realtracks.artists.php?a=61&os=win(if you are referring to notation, then you are correct, the 9/8 styles are notated in 3/4 and the 6/8 are notated in 4/4. Hopefully that doesn't stop you entering all kinds of jigs and other Celtic tunes.)
I think there's a way of obtaining odd time signatures in 8ths by editing any 16th based style in the style maker. Under the style menu select 'Expand style to 8th notes'. i haven't tried it yet using every style but it works quite well on some of them. Using this approach every odd time signature like 5/4 6/4 7/4 9/4 is treated as an 8th based one.

I would like to "second" this request.
