Re: Post-Cadenza Music

[Will Oram]

Do you mean something like this:

theCadenza = \notes \relative d'' {
STUFF
}

thePart = \notes {
MAIN STUFF

\context DevNull = "cadenzaMusic" << \theCadenza >>

MORE STUFF
}

If so, lily complained
warning: Cannot find or create `DevNull' called `cadenzaMusic'

I'm toying with this not because I'm too lazy to count (I ended up 
doing so), but because of mis-synchronisations in MIDI. Suppose I bring 
it down to two instruments: accompaniment and solo. The cadenza lasts 
16*703, so the accompaniment skips that long by

\cadenzaOn
s16*703
\cadenzaOff

This looks good on paper; there are no barline complaints or 
mismatches. On MIDI, however, the accompaniment starts about one 
quarter beat too early. If I add any number 0 < x < 16, there are many 
barline, etc. errors. The errors continue up until 703 + 16, when it's 
on the barline again. In THAT case, it plays as 
expected...accompaniment starts on the beat, one bar too late. In 
short, it's either ~1 beat too early or 1 bar too late; I can't seem to 
adjust that any.
