Well, then you have to figure out how to typeset the
time signature you want, using text markup.

The bar numbering shouldn't be any problem, since if you
insert a \bar ":", it won't affect the bar numbering.
Just make sure to use \time 5/4.

If you want to insert a dotted bar line in a sequence of
10 bars, just use something like
<< \repeat unfold {s2 \bar ":" s2. }
 { the actual music ... }
