Actually, it resets timing to 0, so even if the bar has some notes
before \cadenzaOn, they don't get counted toward the timing once
\cadenzaOff is reached.  So it is not "stop advancing time in measure
to resume later", but rather "stop counting altogether and then reset
to 0."

I would think that once the timing is reset to 0, as \cadenzaOn does,
it should automatically insert a barline at that point and treat the
subsequent material as a new measure (thus avoiding problems with
accidentals).

I really think this is a design flaw.
