Additive and Complex Meters
I know there are several "back-door" fixes to this, but what is the <> method for notating complex meters, both the "2+2+3/8" sort, as well as the "3/4=6/8" sort. Where are the appropriate articles in the handbook?

Can you be more clear about what specifically you are wanting help with? Actually creating the time signature, or notation the music itself? And what specifically about notating the music would you mean if the latter? Beaming, maybe?
For more info on creating the time signature, see the Handbook under Time signatures.

Thanx, Marc. Actually, I realize that additive meter time signatures (the 2+2+3/8 variety) are easily created and well-supports by the "create time signature" option under the time signature palette. As for the other variety, see the attached file: I created the time signature by entering the 3/4, then "creating" the "=6/8" by adding elements from the symbols palette (and adjusting the beaming appropriately). It works, but I was wondering if there is a more direct route.

Not that I can think of, just different hacks (like maybe, 3/4, narrow measure with invisible rest, change to 6/8)
