Hi!

First there was the time signature, then there was the bar, marking
the first beat.

What does a bar without a time signature mean?  Answer: whatever
you want it to mean.  How does the reader know that?

You'll have to excuse me, I'm a techie, helping a muso out. Erik previously described the situation better than me - It's not so much 'unmetered music', rather irregularly metered music. It would have been nice if something better was available than calling 'measureLength' for each bar.

Have you considered forget-accidentals?  If there are long sections
without bars, that might be the best way, because the bars won't
matter.
Yep, that's what I'm currently using as a workaround. Thanks for the tip.

Cheers,
Peter
