Dear documentation editors,
In the existing @knownissues for cadenzaOn, I suggest adding one sentence (in
context below) encouraging manual beams. Users might *think* autobeaming works
through cadenzas, and it does for a while, but it will not through longer
cadenzas.
There is a related low-priority issue 1289, but the suggested text remains
true and helpful after any of the proposed resolutions to that issue.
The immediately-following example depended on autobeaming, I made its beam
manual. (While I'm at it, I suggest this one be an @example, because in this
case the _code_ is the point, and the image gives no useful information.)
Two earlier examples use autobeaming in their cadenzas, so I marked the two
affected lines below, but this detail is not worth much effort.
Thanks,
Keith

1404 LilyPond will insert line breaks and page breaks only at a
1405 bar line. Unless the unmetered music ends before the end of the
1406 staff line, you will need to insert invisible bar lines with
1407
1408 @example
1409 \bar ""
1410 @end example
1411
1412 @noindent
1413 to indicate where breaks can occur.
+ Automatic beaming rules are unlikely to produce the desired beams
+ in cadenzas longer than one or two beats, so it is best to specify beams
+ manually with @code{[} and @code{]}.
+
+ If your piece begins with @code{\cadenzaOn}, then be sure to explicitly
+ create a @code{Voice} context, otherwise strange errors may occur.
+
+ @example
+ \new Voice \relative c'{
+ \cadenzaOn
+ c16[^"Solo Free Time" d e f] g2. \bar "||"
+ \cadenzaOff
+ }
+ @end example
