The piece I am setting has a flute cadenza which is notated in standard size notes totalling 14 crotchets (quarter-notes) in length. The whole cadenza is written between 2 successive barlines.
The prevailing time signature at this point is 6/8, and in the cadenza all of the other instruments have a tied dotted minim with a fermata. I have been trying to reproduce this layout in LilyPond, using v.2.19.81. I tried \cadenzaOn etc., but that did not seem suitable. I then tried to adapt the snippet found at http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=836 . Using this, the cadenza bar itself works OK, but in subsequent bars Lilypond seems to think that the time signature is 4/4. I conclude that the line '\unset Timing.measureLength' restores measureLength to its default value, rather than restoring the previous value. I tried removing that line and adding '\once ' before '\set Timing.measureLength', but this fails completely. I have now replaced the line \unset Timing.measureLength with \set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 3/4) This works fine, but how would I get a more general solution which could be used in cases which are not in 6/8 or 3/4?
