The problem is that this shows up correctly on paper, but does not transfer correctly to a Midi file. The mid-measure bar is only a visual element. By breaking it into two measures, you have made something that will not import properly into a sequencer for further work. That's why I always prefer to deal with manual spacing if it keeps the music mechanically accurate. For me, the fewer musical workarounds, the better. And that's also why Finale's failure to deal with the staggered barline and fully independent staves has been a thorn for many years -- not that even Midi can handle this situation, at least version 1 (which we've been using for over two decades!).
