I need to have part only of a bar notated with free rhythm. Also other staves 
need to be synchronised. I've tried using \cadenzaOn but then I get a barcheck 
problem and the next bar goes odd. I can't see anything about this in the 
snippets or manuals. A minimal example follows.

There seem to be two issues:

1) How do I get the desired result, which is one bar with the first 2 crotchets 
synchronised with the bass, and the rest unsynchronised?

2) This isn't in the example, but what if I want a free section within a bar, 
but synchronised accompaniment at the beginning and end of the bar (e.g. a 
chord on the final note of a cadenza).

\language "english"

\version "2.19.83"

\score {

 <<
   \new Staff {
   \time 4/4
   {
    c'4 4 4 4 |
    4 4 \cadenzaOn 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8  \bar "|" \cadenzaOff
    R1
   }
 }

 \new Staff {
  \time 4/4
  \clef "bass"
  {
    c1
    4 4 r2\fermata |
  }

 }

} 
Thanks in advance,
