i would like to have the vocal line in 6/8 and the piano in 2/4.
is this possible in Allegro?
I cannot find independent elements in the staff tool.
thanks.

If you can't find "Independent Elements" in the Staff Tool, then it's probably because it isn't available in Allegro.
The attached screen shot shows how the dialog box looks in the full Finale.
However, you can perhaps create the desired layout in Allegro with a workaround.
I don't know Allegro, so this is just "a shot in the dark":
Set the time signature to 2/4.
In the Staff Attributes for the vocal staff, in the pane Items to Display, de-select "Time Signatures".
Add a false 6/8 time signature with the Expression Tool.
Enter the vocal line as triplets that are set to display "Nothing" for "Number" and "Shape".
