Thank you, this is really good! I had first problems with the bar lines -- they made the notes really spacy (though closer together than without this option). But I switched on the cadenza mode and it looks really as it should look! The disadvantage is that now you will have to set line breaks manually inside the cadenza. I guess lilypond has a minimal extent for a bar which it then starts adding until the line is full -- so if this minimal extent could be set to zero we also could have invisible barlines to make autmatic page breaking possible.
