The music internal model of capella does not need the concept of 'measure' as a primary concept, either. But Finale's and Sibelius' do, and so does MusicXML's model. There may be measures that are not filled completely in some voice or staff, but no barline is generated there. So MusicXML needs the extra hint "non-controlling". If your software is different in that respect, it should easily be able to encode and display such multi metric things. And it should be possible for you to support the non-controlling attribute for exchange. Of course this is not quite trivial, and the world wide range of stakeholders and customers for this feature is small. But if you want to do more work on that, I can give you some support. E.g. the capella export is done with a python script CapToMusic.py, open source. You can get it from the capella demo version, or directly from http://bjungmann.privat.t-online.de/CapToMusic.zip. But I warn you: It is long and more complicated than I had expected when I started with it!
