I see how you enter chord progressions leaving a space between the text descriptions, leading to a measure by measure progression.
Can you also do this with some other text characters included to indicate the length of that part of the progression, fore examples 1/2 measure for some and 2 measure for other harmonic changes?

You need to stretch or shrink to the desired rhythm after you entered the chords.

BTW ... you say something that peaks my curiousity.
In classical music is 'rhythm' considered the intervals created by chord changes in a progression?
I am used to thinking of it from pop music as where beats fall within a grid in a measure, as dictated by the time signature.

Rhythm is any pattern distributed over time. Words have a rhythm too. Even pictures may have a rhythm ;-)

Hard to argue with that ... but in a musical context generally, in my experience, there has been a more narrow meaning related to bars and beats. That was why I asked about classical music, of which, beyond listening to the lovely sounds, I am quite ignorant.
But, I will take your meaning in the global sense ... no wait! .... even better. in the intergalactic, cosmogenic sense of all God's children got rhythm.
or, "If it ain't got that swing, it don't mean a thing ... shu bop shu wah, shu bop shu wah.'
