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, Harm _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
