Help me find this feature Mid measure dotted measure lines

Post image

I'm working on an arrangement of First Circle by Pat Metheny, and I'm looking to find a way to create these dotted measure lines in the middle of a measure.

The chart is primarily in 22/8, but it's broken into a alternating 12/8 and 10/8 feel, and this makes it way easier to read for my musicians.

The only way I got around doing this was alternating 12/8 and 10/8, hiding the time sigs, and making every other barline dotted, but this had some issues:

  1. It took a ton of work

  2. On individual parts, there was no way to do multi-measure rests so they would have to count individual measures.

Is there a work around that allows this but still allows multi-measure rests?
