Okay, this spares the manual counting of the length of the notes.  But 
note that this is NOT a cadenza in the sense of \cadenzaOn / 
\cadenzaOff, since it amounts to _metered_ music, while \cadenzaOn 
introduces an _unmetered_ section.  Thus, the approach suggested is just 
a clever way of doing my example 3, isn't it?
