To answer Mark's question:

Fractional time signatures are not just a Boulez notation. One of my
favorite jazz artists, Don Ellis, had an early album called "Live in 3
2/3 / 4 Time!"

Yes, MusicXML can handle fractional time signatures. To use the example
of three-and-two-thirds quarter time:

<time>
  <beats>3</beats>
  <beat-type>4</beat-type>
  <beats>2/3</beats>
  <beat-type>4</beat-type>
</time>

Since Finale doesn't support this directly, this is not supported in the
MusicXML plug-in in Finale 2003. Currently, regular composite time
signatures like 4/4 + 3/8 are supported on export to MusicXML, but not
on import into Finale.
