It seems nobody has answered your question. The first thing to note is
that \cadenzaOn and \cadenzaOff commands affect the full score, i.e. all
staves. Otherwise, I think the description in the Notation Reference
more or less says it all, namely that \cadenzaOn simply tells LilyPond
to stop counting beats and inserting bar lines automatically (which
again applies to all staves).
If you move the Timing_translator from the Score level to Staff level,
as described in
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/user/lilypond/Displaying-rhythms#Polymetric-notation
then the \cadenzaOn and \cadenzaOff commands only apply to the current
stave, since they set properties on the Timing context, see
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/user/lilypond/Special-rhythmic-concerns#Time-administration

Because of a question on the german forum, I thought I'd ask here. Is
the music in a cadenza supposed to take up no time? Consider the
following:
\version "2.12.1"
\relative c'{
\time 2/4
\set Score.skipBars = ##t
c4 d
<<
{ R2^"G.P." }
\new Staff { \cadenzaOn e4 f e d \cadenzaOff }
>>
R2*2
c2
}
\relative c'{
\time 2/4
\set Score.skipBars = ##t
c4 d e f
<<
{ R2^"G.P." }
\new Staff { \cadenzaOn e4 f e d \cadenzaOff s2 }
>>
R2*2
c2
}
I can certainly understand the logic behind it, but I couldn't find
anywhere that this was explained. Perhaps it is implied in the
notation reference, but it really only mentions bar lines and bar
numbers, but not how cadenzas fit into multi-staff music.
