Bill,

I have had this exact problem with typesetting Beethoven before.

One solution is to temporarily change the time signature, but remove the time signature engraver. I'll try to find an example later (on my phone just now).

Bill, 

Here's the way I actually did it...

\version "2.18.2"

\language "english"

\relative c {

  \compressFullBarRests

  \key ef \major

  \time 6/8

  \clef bass

  \tempo "Andante"

  r8 ef (g af f d)

  f (ef) g g4 (bf8)  

  R2.  

  \set Score.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 2 8) 

  ef8 r \bar "|." \break  

  \tempo "Adagio"   

  \time 4/4

  \set Score.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 5 8) 

  r8^\markup{"VAR. VI"} r2

  \set Score.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 4 4)  

  ef,,4 f g a 

  c d e f \bar "|."  

}
