Could someone volunteer to create a patch to the documentation by adding
this to the Known issues and warnings section of Unmetered music in
rhythms.itely?
In the meantime, I'm CCing to bug- (mostly so I can keep track of it).

It seems that you have to explicitly create a Voice context when you
start a piece with \cadenzaOn:
\include english.ly
\new Voice \relative c'{
\cadenzaOn

ef c4 ef8 c16 d g,1 \bar c16 d ef f g2 g \glissando g' g16 f ef d c b

There are a few situations like these, where you explicitly have to
create a context since LilyPond isn't able to figure out the right thing
to do itself. I got the clue to this solution by looking at the log
printouts from LilyPond, which included the line
warning: cannot find or create `Timing' called `'
Of course, you have to be a LilyPond nerd to have any idea of what the
warning means, though.
You could just as well have done \new Staff instead of \new Voice.

Thankyou for the reply - why is it that when I remove the c1 |
from the beginning and end of your corrected example I then get bar
lines throughout the cadenza? I don't want those c1's, they're not
part of the piece. Do I have to do some override to make the bar lines
invisible? Isn't that part of what \cadenza does (more or less)?
I don't understand why a \cadenza section, a completely free-form
unmetered cadenza, is causing problems with the other parts. My piece
is made up of 7 instrument parts. I've added the entire piece at the
bottom of this message.
(Oh, btw, there are no forced bar checks anywhere in my piece, so I
don't understand why I would get the failure.)
Thanks again,
Chip

It doesn't, at least not by itself! You can only get bar check
failures if you have bar checks, i.e. if you have inserted a | where
you expect the bar line to happen. I tried to turn your incomplete
example into something that can be ran directly in LilyPond, like
\version 2.12.0
\include english.ly
\relative c'{
c1 |
\cadenzaOn
c16^Solo Free Time d ef f g2. as4 gs g32 gs g8~ g1 g4 f16 ef d f
d ef c4 ef8 c16 d g,1 \bar c16 d ef f g2 g \glissando g' g16 f ef
d c b a g f e d c4 b2 e b16 e b1 \bar ||
\cadenzaOff
c1 |
}
and I don't see any bar check failures. It's much much easier to
provide relevant answers to a question like this if you include a
complete (but small) example of an .ly file that illustrates your
problem.
