Thanks, but it does not work so well (or perhaps there is another 
parameter that needs to be set): with \cadenzaOn and \autoBeamOn, all 
successive eighth notes are linked with beams; in other words, the \time 
given has no effect.  I tried to use, with \time 4/8, \set beatStructure = 
#'(2 2), to group eighth notes two by two, but it does not work.

Moreover, line breaks are not automatically inserted (albeit as I said 
above this could be tolerable).
