*Do you mean you would like to have ability to
write a (e.g.) 2+3/8 time signature or want to write a (e.g.) 5/8 time
signature then force the processor behavior to groups as (e.g.) 2+3 ?*
I write in 5/8, but the notes are grouped in 2+3 (eg: || ||| or half-note
and doted half-note), or
(for 3+2) I write in 5/8 but now the notes are grouped: ||| || (doted
half-note and half note).
These are two distinctive variants of the same 5/8 time signature: 3+2 is
used mainly in Greece, 2+3 is used mainly in Macedonia and Bulgaria.
Hope this makes sense.

Hello to all,
I play bouzouki and guitar and most of my music repertoire is in
(Eastern European) uneven time signatures (5/8, 7/8, 9/8 etc).
I was trying to write Guitar/Bouzouki tablature/notation of this music
on Linux in the past but without much success.
The main (hidden) problem with these rhythms is the grouping of notes,
i.e.
5/8 can be 2+3/8 or 3+2/8,
7/8 is 2+2+3/8 or 3+2+2/8 etc...
Thus the grouping of the notes needs to reflect this fact as it is
essential for the performer.
That's interesting to me. Do you mean you would like to have ability to
write a (e.g.) 2+3/8 time signature or want to write a (e.g.) 5/8 time
signature then force the processor behavior to groups as (e.g.) 2+3 ?
