It's an intonation.  They are usually done unmetered.  The 4/4 probably
is some default creeping in.

I'd do something like

\new Voice {
  \clef "bass" \key f \major
  \temporary\omit Stem
  \once\omit Staff.TimeSignature
  \cadenzaOn
  c'4 d' c'( f') f'
  \cadenzaOff
  \bar "|"
  \undo\omit Stem
  \time 3/4 r r f
} \addlyrics { Ma -- gni -- fi -- cat A }

Just use \cadenza here.  This stuff is unmetered.
