maybe something like this:
```
{
4 4 4 4 | 4 4 4 4 |
\noBreak
\cadenzaOn\stopStaff
\textLengthOn s-\markup\hspace #25 \textLengthOff
\startStaff
\cadenzaOff
\break
4 4 4 4 | 4 4 4 4 | 4 4 4 4
}
{
4 4 4 4 | 4 4 4 4 |
\noBreak
\grace {
\stopStaff
\textLengthOn s-\markup\hspace #25 \textLengthOff
\startStaff
}
\bar ""
\break
4 4 4 4 | 4 4 4 4 | 4 4 4 4
}
```

you can always try adding some invisible spacers like this:
```
{
1_\markup\lower#30 " " \break 1
}
```
As Knute has pointed out depending on your needs you might also want to
consider using multiple scores (I’ve changed Knute’s example to include space
between and to continue the measure count):
```
\score {
\layout {
ragged-last = ##t
}
{
\repeat unfold 32 { c''1 }
}
}
\markup\vspace #5
\score {
\layout {
ragged-last = ##f
indent = 0
}
{
\once\omit Score.TimeSignature
\once\omit Score.KeySignature
\set Score.currentBarNumber = 33
\repeat unfold 32 { c''1 }
}
}
```
