No disagreement from myself with that, but you might want to look at
<URL:http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2010-09/msg00455.html>
and surroundings. In my opinion, that does not make sense since within
a cadenza, you don't even know where the current beats synchronize and
often the given note durations are approximate, a cadenza usually
allowing for heavy rubato.
Of course, that's partly my opinion because of "technicalities"
(issue 3633 does not leave any information required for autobeaming).
