You say 1 and 1/16 *beat*, but I suspect you mean one quarter
*note* and one 16th *note*, correct?  In 4/4 time, one 16th of a beat would
be a 64th note.

Assuming that you mean five 16th notes (one and one-quarter beats), the way
to do it with partial is

\partial note-duration * multiplier

or 

\partial 16*5

Jim


\version "2.16.2"

\score {
  \new Staff \relative e' {
    \partial 16*5
    e16 e e e e
    a4 a a2
  }
}
