Hi Christian, That works fine for me too. I thought I was being stupid in not working out how to use the \cadenza keywords, but it seems I wasn't.
Thanks. Best regards, Peter mailto:[email protected] www.ptoye.com ------------------------- Friday, June 12, 2020, 3:52:49 PM, Christian Masser wrote: Hi Peter! I don't know if that's the correct way to do it, but if you use \scaleDurations on the cadenza material it seems to work out for me: { c'4 4 4 4 | 4 4 \scaleDurations 2/5 { 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 } | } The '2/5'-part depends of course on the length of the material inside.

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). \language "english" \version "2.19.83" \score { << \new Staff { \time 4/4 { c'4 4 4 4 | 4 4 \cadenzaOn 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 \bar "|" \cadenzaOff R1 } } \new Staff { \time 4/4 \clef "bass" { c1 4 4 r2\fermata | } } >> } Thanks in advance, Peter mailto:[email protected] www.ptoye.com
