I have updated the snippet on the Wiki, replacing the example of written-out Anglican chant with an example from opera recitative. Here is the link:
Unmetered music: An alternative to \cadenzaOn <https://wiki.lilypond.community/wiki/Unmetered_music:_An_alternative_to_%5CcadenzaOn> My thanks to Kieren for off-list help with the code, David for the constructive input about my previous music example, and Jean for updating the Wiki so that “beautiful LilyPond output” displays before/above the LilyPond code! ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Kieren MacMillan Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2026 Subject: Re: Accidentals in Unmetered Music > Kieren, your idea is brilliant! It happens… from time to time… > I think I found a good example: “Still brooding on their mad infatuation,” the recitative that Patience sings at the beginning of No. 2 in Act I of Patience. That looks perfectly suited for the snippet!
