Re: Free rhythm in part of a bar

Mark,

I'm not quite sure what you mean here.  A spacer takes the same musical time as a rest. So replacing 'r2' by 's2' still gives the barcheck error. Or am I being thick?

Best regards,

Peter,
 
Lilypond with always give a bar check error when this is done.
The bass has a total of 6 beats (with the inserted half rest) in a 4/4 measure.
If you replace the rest with spacers the bar check error goes away.

Mark,

Thanks. That looks fine, but still gives a barcheck error

Peter,
 
Below is a modification of my original suggestion that allows for the bass to be aligned with notes after the cadenze.
 
Mark
 
\version "2.19.83"
\score {

    \cadenzaOn 4 4 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 \cadenzaOff c'4 c' \bar "|"

David,

In this example the first two notes of the bass should synchronise with the first two notes of the treble. And they do. My question was what to do in a more complicated situation.

But as Christian has solved the problem I think we can stop here, unless you're thinking of adding more functionality to the \cadenza construction, in which case I'm happy to oblige. I have other problems to see to (a new post will arrive shortly when I've written it)!

Best regards,

Peter
