David, What I mean is that in some music the end of the 'free rhythm' section may need to be synchronised with the other staves. For instance, at the end of a florid passage for a soloist in free rhythm, the last few notes may need to coincide with an accompaniment. The \cadenza keywords don't seem to handle this. Would you like an example or have I explained it well enough now?
Christian Masser's idea works OK. It just need a bit of counting but that's no great issue. I thought I was being stupid in not being able to use \cadenza, but it seems I wasn't.
