This can be done too.

\version "2.24.0"

\paper {
  page-breaking = #ly:one-line-auto-height-breaking
}

\layout {
  \context {
    \Score
    proportionalNotationDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1/4)
    \override SpacingSpanner.uniform-stretching = ##t
  }
  \context {
    \Voice
    \consists Duration_line_engraver
    \omit NoteHead
    \remove Stem_engraver
    \remove Dots_engraver
  }
}

at =
#(define-music-function (instrument point pitch len) (string? exact-rational? 
ly:pitch? exact-rational?)
   #{ \context Staff = #instrument \after 4*#point { $pitch 4*$len \- } <> #})

<<
  \new Staff = piano { s1*10 }
  \new Staff = violin { s1*10 }
  \cadenzaOn
  \at piano ##e0.5 e' ##e1.0
  \at violin ##e0.6 e' ##e1.5
