Dear friends, I want to write a complex time signature WITHOUT separators, but with beaming in the sense of meter. The separators you can see in my picture (after 6, 4 3 eighth notes ) are misleading. Thanks!
If I understand you correctly, you want the time signature to read 13/8 but have the beaming as shown. If that’s the case, you can select your current time signature and type SHIFT+M (for meter) and enter [3+3+4+3]/8 in the popover. The brackets tell Dorico the note grouping and it will display as 13/8.

Or if you want this:
type 6/8:2/4:3/8 in the M popver: it will make aggregate Time Signature without dashed barlines.

Thank you!
Just in case you’re unaware of this, if you ever want to have dashed lines between barlines to help performers stay oriented, typing 6/8|2/4|3/8 produces this result:

Thank you, that I knew and wanted to know what I have to type in for having barlines without any lines.
