I looked at the URL you referred to, it does seem odd from my point of 
view that while there is a partial on the first bar, that partial 
instead of being made up on the last bar of the piece is actually made 
up after the first few bars and then a new partial is started in the 
next bar and made up a few bars down again.

I wouldn't normally expect this, but I am not a singer so this might be 
something that is common practice.

However what you could look at (I think) is using the \cadenzaOn Off 
function, which while perhaps not strictly what you are doing, might be 
a simpler way to work.

Otherwise the only way I can see for you to set music like this is to 
join lots of 'mini-scores' together which would be tedious.

I hope this helps,
