Double click the first measure with the Time Sig tool. 
Click "More Choices."
Click "Use a different time signature for display."
Click "Composite."
Enter on top 4 then 2
Enter on bottom 4 and 4. OK back to the document.

Now double click the second measure. You only have to change the UPPER time 
signature to 2/4; it will still display as 4/4+2/4.

Now you should select the measure stack of bars 1 and 2 and copy it to the end 
of the document.

Done. You now have an entire document full of alternating measures of 4/4 and 
2/4, but with a time sig of 4/4+2/4 at the beginning.

P.S., I like my special thank yous in the form of a nice India Pale Ale, draft 
with a medium head, not too cold. I'll put it on my list.
