3/2 measures shouldn't feel like two measures of 3/4

Some of my arrangements of standards (or compositions) have measure changes, let's say from 4/4 in the A to 3/2 in the B section. However iReal makes the 3/2 sound like 3/4 plus 3/4, rather than 2/4 + 2/4 + 2/4 which is what would be normally expected in 3/2 ; i.e. a feel of three half-note beats. To get around this I have write the B in 2/4 with three times as many bars and my musicians get easily confusing trying to count all the bars!
Any chance this can be fixed? Thanks.

Interesting issue! A proper 3/2 feel would improve usability—hope they address this for smoother arrangements. Thanks for highlighting it!

I would also like to have a 3/4 bar played as 2/4 + 1/4 (particularly for the drums). Currently, it's often played as 3/8 + 3/8 (which is fine in most situations), but in many pop/rock songs, the groove doesn't change when switching from 4/4 to 3/4. It would be nice to have both
