Unmetered music

Bar lines and bar numbers are calculated automatically. For unmetered music (e.g. cadenzas), this is not desirable. The property Score.timing can be used to switch off this automatic timing

c'2.
\property Score.timing = ##f
c2
\property Score.timing = ##t
c4 c4 c4

[picture of music]

The identifiers \cadenzaOn and \cadenzaOff can be used as shortcuts.
