Dear list,

The way I'd do it is to force the length of the held note to match that of the
sung cadenza by multiplication. For instance if there is a semibreve c being
held while the cadenza part adds up to 7 crotchets, I'd write it as c1*7/4.
But you could just write it normally and pad it out with
