There were already some good suggestions on the list. To get the automatic 
beaming correct, you'll probably need to use another trick: You have to change 
the time signature for each measure, but you simply hide the time signature.

Attached is a (documented) example of a score with measures alternating 
irregularly between 2/4 and 3/4.
