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
