Hello Greg! Maybe \RemoveEmptyStaves (or equivalently \override VerticalAxisGroup.remove-empty = ##t ) would do the trick?
Also suspending bars in case of cadenzas is exactly what \cadenzaOn and \cadenzaOff are for. But keep in mind that cadenzaOn will prevent automatic breaking, as no bar lines exists. So you either have no manually insert \bar "" Or you could also do \set Score.defaultBarType = "" \set Score.barAlways = ##t For the Cadenza and \set Score.defaultBarType = "|" \unset Score.barAlways After the cadenza. Cheers, Valentin
