I think the expectation is that most composers most of the time do not want
notes split up automatically as it probably means a mistake was made when
entering the notes. Basically they'll split when they want to. It's just
you and I working with generated scores where this other behavior is
preferred.

I have no idea about that! For me I'm just using the bar lines and
automatic breaking more for aesthetic reasons or as a help to the performer
to see where they are than I am for any musical reasons. So for me 4/4 is
all I'm using. Naively I would assume that it should work for more complex
time signatures.

in getting the bar lines printed after 5th and 8th quarter notes in a 10/4
time scale by adding a voice with bar lines at those places. May be there
is a different method of achieving this effect.

I'm not quite getting what you're trying to do, do have a picture or some
code?
