Rose,
Here's a very simple version of some music laid out as hymns frequently seem to
be. I think you should be able to use this to modify what you've already done.
\version "2.12.0"
\relative c' {
\partial 4 c4 |
c c c c |
\partial 4*3 c c c \bar "||"
\break
\partial 4 c |
c c c c |
\partial 4*3 c c c \bar "||"
}
\addlyrics {
LineOne la la la la la la la
LineTwo la la la la la la la
}

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 |
