What I've done is to define a staff style which does not show the
time signature, and applied it only to the first measure; then
change the time signature of the first measure to one which will
accommodate the number of beats neaded; then isolate the measure
containing the incipit from the balance of the work by means of
measure number regions. I can set this up in less time than it took
to describe it.

And ... I remain intrigued that some folks who accept and practice,
with absolute fidelity, the concepts of, say, feng shui and
pyramids, should find the task of extending their leaps of faith to
include an existent God so arduous.
