Even though I've been using Sibelius to adapt Renaissance music (even the specific piece you cite) for brass recently, I've never tried to copy the original notation. I simply write a quarter (not dotted quarter) on the last 1/4 of a bar and tie it to an 8th across the barline. I imagine it could be done by . . . . 1. Making the first bar 9/8 (with 4/4 style beaming and invisible time sigs and rests of course). 2. Invisifying an 8th rest on the downbeat of the next bar. The spacing would be a little wrong and you'd have to write an alternate version for playback. Maybe somebody else knows a better way or a "free meter" way.
