Re: Dividing a measure with a dotted bar line

[Urs Liska]

What about adding a Dynamics context and change that to print the time 
signature?
Then parenthesize that and display the time sigs in the visible staves 
as 3/4.

Can't try this out currently so I don't know if it works.

But in any case I think you should use a real 5/4 time signature and add 
the rest.
