Re: Allow LilyPond to automatically handle then end of a staff with \partial

[Tom Dickson]

That's basically what I do, but using \time. With your example I use:

\relative c'{\partial 8 c8 |
 c4 d e f |
 
\override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \time 7/8 d2 c4. \bar "|." |
}

Since I'm combining Soprano and Alto voices into one staff, this allows me to put all the timing information in the Soprano voice and have the Alto voice inherit it.

I use it to verify I didn't make a mistake in the last measure, especially when I have multiple voices in a single staff.

??? If you know that the last measure is incomplete, it's obvious that you will get a bar check error if you insert a bar check there. If you really want to verify that the last measure is exactly 7/8 long (for example), you could explicitly set the measure length manually for that measure:

\relative c'{\partial 8 c8 |
 c4 d e f |
 \set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 7 8) d2 c4. | \bar "|."
}

   Bar checks are only intended to help you make sure that LilyPond
   thinks that the measure is
   finished at the same place as you think it is.

   If you want an ending bar line, just use \bar "|." (or whatever
   bar type you wish) but not a bar check.

       A feature I would like is to make it so that barchecks don't
       fail on the end of a staff started with \partial. Especially
       in songs, the last measure will usually be cut down by the
       same amount as the \partial at the beginning. Currently I have
       to hide the time signature and change time at the end of the
       staff to make it look right.

       Other than that Lilypond has worked wonderfully for our
       booklet we're making. Thanks!
