Bar lines and bar numbers are calculated automatically. For
unmetered music (cadenzas, for example), this is not desirable.
To turn off automatic bar lines and bar numbers, use the commands
\cadenzaOn
and \cadenzaOff
.
c4 d e d \cadenzaOn c4 c d8 d d f4 g4. \cadenzaOff \bar "|" d4 e d c
Bar numbering is resumed at the end of the cadenza as if the cadenza were not there:
\override Score.BarNumber #'break-visibility = ##( #t #t #t ) c4 d e d \cadenzaOn c4 c d8 d d f4 g4. \cadenzaOff \bar "|" d4 e d c
LilyPond will only insert line breaks and page breaks at a bar line. Unless the unmetered music ends before the end of the staff line, you will need to insert invisible bar lines with
\bar ""
to indicate where breaks can occur.
