Actually he did that in his \score section and it worked just fine in 2.1.23Use "\partial duration" for partial measures. In your example you should use:
sopran = \notes \relative c' { \partial 8 e8 | e4 e8 a4 gis8
%... etc
If you want to start with an 8th measure. Because the | bars are only for checking purposes. Take a look on:

\score { \notes { \time 6/8 \partial 8
