how to change time signature for one bar?

Hi, I'm writing a song in 4/4th but a couple times during the song I need a half bar (2/4). How can I change the time signature of just one bar and let the rest be 4/4th? Thanks!

GarageBand (Mac) '11, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

unfortunately GB ony allows a single time sig per project. however the time signature is mostly cosmetic...


if you change your 4/4 song to 2/4, it won't change how the 4/4 part is actually played, only displayed (and vice versa). so set the project to 2/4, record/enter that portion, and then set the project back to 4/4, if you wish, to continue the rest of it
