I think you want to turn the cadenza off earlier,

so change lines 22-24 from:

c4glissando hideNotes c,,4 unHideNotes

cadenzaOff

to:

c4glissando hideNotes cadenzaOff c,,4 unHideNotes

This will give you something like this:

The above answer is not right; the spacing is incorrect, and it will not align properly if you have other instruments in parallel staves.

This is because the cadenza makes the 3/4 bar have an extra crotched (invisible or not)

What you want is a (/an invisible) grace note at the end of the bar.

So instead replace lines 20-26 with:

afterGrace c4 glissando { hideNotes c,,8 unHideNotes }
