Nothing at all, in the general case. But the way I notated it,
which includes this single line:

  f4 f8 \bar ":..:" f16 c

shows as clearly as the score does that the anacrusis here is
not a \partial but merely the completion of a single bar, 8(16),
which was the point I was trying to illustrate. No need for
alternatives, nor for playing about with skips.

Cheers,
David.
