Dear Paul,

If this thread addresses your question:

I think you are basing your MWE off of this, am I right?

https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/snippets/expressive-marks-_002d-contemporary-glissando

In the referenced message thread you will find that there are people (myself 
included) who pointed out that it should be updated with the one using \after 
function.

I believe Paul's problem is related to time synchronisation of the cadenza. This should work:

\version "2.24.0"

pa = \fixed c' {
  \cadenzaOn r2 g \glissando \hideNotes c'4 \unHideNotes \cadenzaOff
  a1
}

pb = \fixed c' { R1*5/4 R1 }

\score { << \pa \pb >> }

The first full measure rest must be the same duration as the cadenza. \cadenzaOn should come at the beginning of the measure. See also https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/special-rhythmic-concerns#aligning-to-cadenzas for handling longer cadenzas without counting up the number of beats. (and use Yoshiaki's suggestion to handle the glissando).
