I have posted to the Wiki a snippet with a different example—this time, real music (an excerpt from an Anglican chant). Here is the link:
Unmetered music: An alternative to \cadenzaOn <https://wiki.lilypond.community/wiki/Unmetered_music:_An_alternative_to_%5CcadenzaOn> I have a question for the Frescobaldi experts on this list about the following (from the Wiki): > If you use Frescobaldi, you may find its built-in duration counter helpful > for computing values to enter into your measure-demarcation variable.

Highlight a measure of music input in your code to see > Frescobaldi’s automatic counting of its length. “Length” is sometimes missing from my user interface in Frescobaldi for no apparent reason. Usually, if I quit Frescobaldi and open it again, I will see the duration counter. But sometimes that doesn’t work, and there is no way (to my knowledge) to get “Length” back. Should I file a bug report, and if so, how? On Mon, 26 Jan 2026, Gabriel Ellsworth wrote: > I might post a snippet to the Wiki about this approach. >
