All you have to do is set your time signature to 3+3+3+3+2/8 (using a composite time sig -- put the entire numerator in the first box rather than one digit in each) and then set the time sig to display as 7/4.
If you have music already entered, you can rebeam the music to this composite sig. Aaron.
