I can't think of a better solution for 7/4 other than to suggest that if it were converted to 7/8 it would be much easier to show the 3-4 and 4-3 grouping via barring and you wouldn't need to mess around with measure numbers or multi-rests. Another solution for 7/4 (not necessarily better, but different) would be to leave them as 7/4 measures and create an articulation of a dotted vertical line which you can then insert where you want in each measure -- again no measure number messes and no multi-rest problems. -- David H.
