If i understood what you want correctly, then it seems to me that
you're approaching this issue wrongly.
If what you want is a repeated section that has a partial measure at
the beginning, and then ends with a non-full measure that matches that
initial partial measure (and after that repeated section there is
another section starting with an upbeat), you don't have to do
anything special. Just put repeats in the middle of a measure.
Hopefully this example will clarify what i mean:
% Te Deum prelude
\relative f' {
\key g \major
\partial 4
\repeat volta 2 {
d4
g g8 a b4 g
d'2 b4. b8
c4 d8 c b c d4
a8 g a b a4 d,
g4 g8 a b4 g
d'2 b4. b8
c8 d b c a4. g8 g2.
}
d'8 c
b4 g c c8 b
a4. g8 fis4 b
a g8 a fis4 b
% etc...
}
If this is not helpful please send an image of what you want to achieve.
hth,
Janek
