Hello Calvin,
MM rests and cadenzas do not play well together. The reason for this is that
the MM is placed centered between start and end of measure. But \cadenzaOn is
not really made for creating arbitrary length measures. What is does is simply
telling Lilypond to stop counting. So when you do
\cadenzaOn a \bar "|"
\cadenzaOff a
this is technically a single measure (where the cadenza part simply happes
before even the first moment). So the MM rest will be centered along the whole
thing. (So technically this is a case where MM rests and \bar "|" within a
measure do not play together).
Instead of using a cadanza you might want to use \partial to create a measure
of arbitrary length.
Cheers,
Valentin
