Many thanks, Malte.

It would never have occurred to me that 3/4 of a crotchet (quarter note) would 
still be engraved as a crotchet, so I wouldn’t have been able to search for a 
possible solution in the manual.

Your method has the advantage that I don’t need to reproduce the \cadenzaOn 
details in the \chords section of the piece, which is a transcription of a 
guitar solo in lead sheet format, with chords.
