Re: Lining up notes in staves with different rhythms and time signatures

[Klaus Blum]

Hi Jack, 

while working on a solution, I've missed that two experts already replied... 
:)
Anyway, another approach would be to set the internal ("true") time
signature via 
\set Staff.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 3/4)   etc.
which can be different from the "displayed" time signature set by \time.
This avoids the need of \cadenzaOn.

Cheers, 
Klaus
