If I understand you correctly, this sort of thing can be done in Sibelius easily with custom defined noteheads, tuplets and hidden rests. An example was put on the Sibelius chat page not long ago, but I haven't been able to find it.
How much flexibility is required with bar lines? Sibelius scores must always have barlines present, otherwise the line would not break, but they can be hidden. Until recently, it has been cumbersome to manipulate the bar lengths to have barlines (for line breaks) in appropriate places, but there are now plug-ins to help, which do the necessary calculations and bar manipulations. If barlines are between staves but not through staves, to have say a dotted minim over the barline, it would need to be minim tied to a crotchet over the barline, with tuplets, the minim becomes a dotted minim and the crotchet rest in the next bar can be hidden. The example explains better, I'll continue to look for it.
