Free rhythmed?

Is there any EASY way to use Deluxe Music Constructor to set up free rhythmed Gregorian Chant melodies? Being musically illiterate I find that I wind up with unwanted pauses due to unused time left over in measures. If I try to use wild time signatures, e.g. 35/1 and 16th notes, the notes wind up jumbled all over each other in the beginning of the measure. I have long "parroted" the characteristics of Gregorian; unisonous, diatonic, and free-rhythmed" but didn't fully appreciate the last until DMC started rubbing my nose in it. HELP! – via Whap!
