Free rhythm in part of a bar I need to have part only of a bar notated
with free rhythm. Also other staves need to be synchronised. I've
tried using \cadenzaOn but then I get a barcheck problem and the next
bar goes odd. I can't see anything about this in the snippets or
manuals. A minimal example follows.
There seem to be two issues:
1) How do I get the desired result, which is one bar with the first 2
crotchets synchronised with the bass, and the rest unsynchronised?
2) This isn't in the example, but what if I want a free section within
a bar, but synchronised accompaniment at the beginning and end of the
bar (e.g. a chord on the final note of a cadenza).
Maybe something like this will help. The fillbar function scales a
semi-breve rest to the right duration to fill up the remainder of the bar.
\version "2.20.0"
fillbar =
#(define-music-function (cadenza) (ly:music?)
(ly:music-compress #{ r1\fermata #} (ly:music-length cadenza)))
cadenza = { c'8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 }
\score {
