Welcome to the NoteWorthy community!
The short answer is you can't have two different time signatures like 3/4 and 9/8 in different staves--the whole thing has to be in 9/8. However, you can have a staff
look like 3/4 by following a visible 3/4 signature with a hidden 9/8. The real (played but hidden) staff will contain the dotted quarter notes but the displayed/muted staff will have quarter notes followed by hidden 8th rests. Other note lengths are illustrated in the file attached in the first post.
Also download and study the attached file on Peter Edward's first post to decide which method you want to use. On mine, click the "open book" icon (or "Page Setup" from the
File menu), choose the Contents tab and uncheck "Hidden" and click OK to see what the final product looks like. To keep the accompaniment in 9/8, don't insert 3/4 and don't hide the 9/8. The italics
3 and
simile of course wouldn't be needed either. You may have no need for a displayed/muted & hidden/played set of staves for the 9/8 parts.. WYSIWYH.
Edited change: The user tip (with attached files) referred to is here (https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=6485.0).
Thanks for the information. I still can't quite see how you hide the time signature that is unwanted but I shall play with it for a while and see if I can resolve it.

You can hide anything (almost) by selecting it, pressing Cntl/E, and choosing the visibility tab (last one). For "Show on Printed Page", choose "Never" and click OK.
Marvellous:thanks very much.

You're welcome. Glad I could help.
