Aaron you are a great teacher thank you. Just a couple few more

not see how you arrived. Second please tell me is there any negative

of moving the barline from score to staff I didn't want to do that on a
global scale because this alignment is just one small section of a
"normal"
composition, but if it's safe? Then ok. Any caveats with moving to
staff?
Thank you. I don't understand the math of 2 full bars.
The two measures was just an arbitrary choice. You don't need to it to
be precisely that; but for whatever amount you do decide on, all staves
will need to agree with one another so things line up.
As for moving the engravers from \Score to \Staff, it would require that
any specified bar lines be duplicated across the staves manually.
Normally, it is sufficient for one staff to say something like \bar "||"
and that will automatically propagate to the other staves.
It seems to be a recommended practice to prefer specifying elements like
bar lines in a common, shared "\global" variable. If you do this and
reference the variable for each staff, then technically you are already
specifying the bar lines on each staff. The redundancy means that the
score should work just fine with the engravers moved.
If it turns out to be unacceptable to move the engravers for the
majority of your project, you could consider engraving this cadenza
section as its own score which allows it to have an independent layout
block. This alternate strategy means subdividing your one score into
multiple scores, so you would need to adjust things like measure
numbering, indentation, and other spacing variables to get the final
output to appear seamless.
