Partial or pick-up measures, such as an anacrusis or upbeat, are
entered using the `\partial' command, with the syntax
\partial DURATION
where `DURATION' is the rhythmic length of the remaining interval of
the current measure before the start of the next.
I repeat: the length of the _remaining_ interval of the current
measure. So you need \partial 2 here.
