I have a piece that's written as chant, with time signatures jumping around: 14/4, 3/4, 9/4, 3/4, jumble around, rinse and repeat. This is no problem, I have the SATB parts entered. However, there is a bass drone under the entire piece. I figured I'd use the organ for sound, but is there a way to set it up to not have to use tied double-whole notes, tied together, front to back?
Is this a spot for independent time signatures, which I've never used before?
JW Meter and Rhythm is not included anymore. Is there a LUA script that would help?

How about just one, tied, {double-whole note} in each measure, regardless of the time signature?
Would that layout work for you?
You can use the Tuplet Tool to create each {whole measure note} as a {nothing displaying} tuplet.

Is it for just playback or does it need to be for the musicians?
Anything that works and can be hidden if it makes a sound. But if you need a score for the musicians it is almost like a percussion part.
Make the first measure with the wanted sound then use 1-bar repeats the rest of the score.
I've never done such but if I had to I think that is how I would approach it.
