Place events based on time rather than music durations

Can we somehow place dots or grid lines based on divisions of seconds? Or lines with length in seconds? I want to make a sketching paper that allows me to place sync points based on bpm clicks. Is there some way to freely place dots above a staff so that they don't obscure music spacing or breaks
