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).
Hoping to not have to put the *5/4 in every instrument's part. My normal
score would be something like this:
\version "2.25.29"
timing = {
s1*5/4 s1
}
pa = \fixed c' {
r2 \cadenzaOn g \glissando \hideNotes c'4 \unHideNotes \cadenzaOff
a1
}
pb = \fixed c' { R1 R1 }
\score{
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff << \timing \pa >>
\new Staff \pb
>>
}
