thank you for the replies. My problem more specifically is that I am trying to change meteres midstream. So the piece is unmetered as handwritten.
But it starts in a basic 4/4 but then only specific bars on specific staves change meters. If I could go unmetered and insert bar lines as needed
that would be best, other wise I need to change for example the soprano line from 4/4 to 6/4 while the other lines stay the
same or change to something like 7/4. The quarter notes all line up so in a sense it is not a polyrhythm nor does it change from simple to compound.

Perhaps something from here will help:
