not sure what you wanted to achieve with "global."
But is this what you are looking for?
See
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/displaying-rhythms#unmetered-music
\version "2.24.2"
\pointAndClickOff
global = \relative {
\time 4/4
s1*8
\bar "|."
}
cadenzaMeasure = {
\cadenzaOff
\partial 1024 s1024
\cadenzaOn
}
cad = \relative c' {
\cadenzaOn
a8 b c f
e gis es b
g bes a es \cadenzaMeasure
\cadenzaOff
}
tune = \relative c' {
c4 d e f
\cad \bar "|"
\break
R1*5
}
\score {
\relative {
\context Staff {
\override MultiMeasureRest.expand-limit = #1
\compressMMRests
<<
\global
\tune
>>
}
}
}
