Nothing at all, in the general case. But the way I notated it, which includes this single line: f4 f8 \bar ":..:" f16 c shows as clearly as the score does that the anacrusis here is not a \partial but merely the completion of a single bar, 8(16), which was the point I was trying to illustrate. No need for alternatives, nor for playing about with skips.
