Rose,
I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to do - is it that you're wanting to
put extra bar lines before each partial, to mark the start of a section of
lyrics? A scan of the original would help working this out.
Also - it helps us if you provide an illustration that compiles on its own -
yours didn't, because it was (presumably) missing:
\include "english.ly"
and where you set your tune equal to "melody" meant that nothing was compiled
by LilyPond.

Subject: please help a newbie with partial measures
Hi all,
I've been stewing over what should be simple all afternoon. I documentation
seems to be getting me no where. I'm working on entering an old hymn. The piece
has an upbeat, which I'm having a bit of trouble with. The partial measures
also repeat throughout the hymn. My trouble is that I can't seem to figure out
how to make the bar lines land in the right places. I could use a complicated
set of repeats but the problem is that if I do that the lyrics line will be
complicated as well. There are three verses to this hymn. Standard hymn writing
doesn't have the verses double back. You repeat when you begin the second
verse. What are my options here? I've put the code below so you can see the
challenge that I'm up against.
Thanks,
Rose
world = {
\key g \major
\time 3/2
\aikenHeads
\autoBeamOff
\partial 2
}
melody = \relative c'' {
\world
b4. a8 | % A regular upbeat
g2. g4 fs g |
a1 |
d4. c8 |
b2. a4 g fs |
g1 | % A partial measure that compliments the upbeat
b4. a8 | % Hear starts the repeat of the first section
g2. g4 fs g |
a1 |
d4. c8 |
b2. a4 g fs |
g1 |
b4. b8 | % A unique section. Note the partial first and last measure.
a2. b4 c d |
c2 [ b] |
b4. b8 |
a2. b4 c b |
b2 [ a] |
b4. a8 | % Another repeat of the first section
g2. g4 fs g |
a1 |
d4. c8 |
b2. a4 g fs |
g1 \bar "|."
