I think it would be far better to use cadenza, anyway, how about:
\version "2.19.45"
\score {
\new Staff {
\time 4/4
\clef bass
\repeat unfold 5 { c4 d e f | g a b c' }
\newSpacingSection
\once \omit Staff.TimeSignature
\override Score.SpacingSpanner.spacing-increment = #0
\time 75/4
\tweak usable-duration-logs #'(0)
R1*75/4*1 ^\fermataMarkup _\markup { "Cadenza" }
\once \omit Staff.TimeSignature
\newSpacingSection
\revert Score.SpacingSpanner.spacing-increment
\time 4/4
\repeat unfold 5 { c4 d e f | g a b c' }
}
}
Cheers,

That worked like a charm! I agree that using \cadenzaOn and Off would be the
best approach, so I’ve attached a new version that does just that. What I wind
up with is a mess (a MMR with a bar of notes typeset on top of it). What am I
doing wrong?
