Bill,

Here is part of the code that shows how I am trying to use compound 
meter. Like you, I also had to get the in-between bar lines artificially 
using the silent voice fooBar. 

Only thing that is not working for me is the Completion_heads_engraver 
across the in-between bars. For example, the 5th note g2 should have 
been split and tied. The sixth note a2 is done correctly.

\version "2.18.2"
fooBar = { s1 s4\bar "|"  s2 \bar "||" }
music =  \relative c' {c4 d e f g2 a b4 c c b a g2 f4 e d c b a g a b}
\score {
  
  <<
 
   \compoundMeter #'((5 4) (2 4) )
    \set Timing.beatStructure = #'(5  2 )
   
    \new Voice = "theBarLines" { \fooBar \fooBar \bar "|." }
     
     \new Voice \music   
     \shiftDurations #1 #0 {\music}
        >>
      }
\layout {
     \context {
       \Voice
       \remove Note_heads_engraver
       \remove Rest_engraver
       \consists Completion_heads_engraver
       \consists Completion_rest_engraver
       
     }
      \context { 
    \Staff 
    %\remove Time_signature_engraver 
  } 
   }
