So I'm in edit mode, And there's a measure I want to shorten. I want the measure to be the length of the highlighted area, or 7/8th of a measure. Is it possible? If so, What time signature do I use?

For better or worse, Time Signatures were removed from StepMania 5 as of beta 3, so for the time being, there isn't much you can do about this. See this issue on GitHub to read some the discussion that topic: https://github.com/stepmania/stepmania/issues/9

If you are trying to use the time signature to change the color of the steps, well, you cant. 1/4 steps will stay 1/4 steps and 1/8 steps will stay 1/8. But if you want to use a time signature to help you with editing, first try 3.5/4. If that doesn't work (it probably won't), try 7/2. But if you don't like the way 7/2 looks (It has 7 lines close together), then the best thing to do from that point would be to change the time signature back and forth from 5/4 to 6/4 at the end of every 7/2 time signature. So what you would do is put a 5/4 time signature where you want it to start, and put a 6/4 where you want it to end. Then repeat and put a 5/4 where you want it to end. Then keep on doing this until the last one, which at the end you would put a 4/4 (unless its for the whole song.)
