Note that you will also have to adjust measure numbers if that's an issue.
That's also a simple fix. Just create a new region using the measure tool.

Hi...
If the bar is split 1 and 2, then create a measure of 1/4 time, enter the notes
and back-repeat, and hide the 1/4 time sig. For the other 2 beats, create a bar
of 2/4, enter your notes, and hide the 2/4 time sig. Then go back to your
normal 3/4.
Jim
There's a mid-measure repeats Plug-in in the plug-ins menu that does the split
and fix the measure numbering.
