There was a discussion, and Federico prepared a documentation enhancement  
request which was posted here:

and it is as follows:


Bug Squad

Perhaps adding a sentence would make this part straightforward to people  
ignorant in music notation as me. Paragraph "Accidental" in chapter 1  
doesn't say that usually an accidental is valid until the end of the bar.

I would write:

"Inserting a \bar within a cadenza does not start a new bar, even if a bar  
line is printed. Therefore the accidental - which is usually valid until  
the end of the bar - will still be valid after the bar line printed by  
\bar. If you want to display the alteration, you'll have to use reminder  
accidentals."

Adding a comment in the example would be a plus:

@lilypond[verbatim,relative=2,quote]
c4 d e d
\cadenzaOn
cis4 d cis d
\bar "|"
% First cis is printed without alteration even if it's after a bar
cis4 d cis! d
\cadenzaOff
\bar "|"
@end lilypond

And maybe making all bar numbers visible can be useful even in this example.

Thanks
