As far as I can understand, Han-Wen's suggestion was to do
soloPart = \notes{
...
\theCadenzaw
...
}and
accompaniment = \notes{
...
\context DevNull \theCadenza
...
}and since there is no such thing as a DevNull context, LilyPond should just ignore the cadenza music when typesetting the accomaniment. However, when I try it here, Lily happily typesets the cadenza in both parts. Fortunately, it's not that hard to implement a DevNull context yourself. In the syntax of the latest development version, just add:
\paper{
\context{
\type "Engraver_group_engraver"
\name DevNull
\consists "Swallow_engraver"
}
\context{
\StaffContext
\accepts DevNull
}
}
To get correct MIDI, you have to add the corresponding performer definitions:
\midi{
\context{
\type "Performer_group_performer"
\name DevNull
\consists "Swallow_performer"
}
\context{
\StaffContext
\accepts DevNull
}

Do you mean something like this:
theCadenza = \notes \relative d'' { STUFF }
thePart = \notes { MAIN STUFF
\context DevNull = "cadenzaMusic" << \theCadenza >>
MORE STUFF }
If so, lily complained warning: Cannot find or create `DevNull' called `cadenzaMusic'
I'm toying with this not because I'm too lazy to count (I ended up doing so), but because of mis-synchronisations in MIDI. Suppose I bring it down to two instruments: accompaniment and solo. The cadenza lasts 16*703, so the accompaniment skips that long by
\cadenzaOn s16*703 \cadenzaOff
This looks good on paper; there are no barline complaints or mismatches. On MIDI, however, the accompaniment starts about one quarter beat too early. If I add any number 0 < x < 16, there are many barline, etc. errors. The errors continue up until 703 + 16, when it's on the barline again. In THAT case, it plays as expected...accompaniment starts on the beat, one bar too late. In short, it's either ~1 beat too early or 1 bar too late; I can't seem to adjust that any.

As described in a previous e-mail, I have a helluva large cadenza printed for solo violin. It is unmeasured, and it probably has a length only calculatable using 32nd notes. If I want to start tutti playing back up after the cadenza, what do I do? Include s(x)*32 in every instrument's ly file to skip over the length of the solo? Needless to say, counting the number of 32nd beats in a 10 line cadenza is no fun.
Is there an easier way?
Can you try something along the lines of
thePart = \notes { ...
\context DevNull \cadenzaMusic
}
