I cannot imagine, these three scores all work for me (pl28):
% first score, proposed by am; second alternative spans one quarter:
\score{
\notes \relative c' \type Voice {
\repeat 2 { \partial 4; c4 | d e f g | }
\alternative { { c d b } { d e f g } }
}
}
% second score, proposed by jcn: second alternative spans three quarters:
\score{
\notes \relative c' \type Voice {
\repeat 2 { \partial 4; c4 | d e f g | }
\alternative { { c d b } { \partial 2.; d e f } } | g
}
}
% third score, second alternative spans four quarters:
\score{
\notes \relative c' \type Voice {
\repeat 2 { \partial 4; c4 | d e f g | }
\alternative { { c d b } { \partial 1; d e f g } }
}
}
Perhaps Lily should issue a '\partial 1;' command implicitely
at the start of all but the first \alternative.

This doesn't work, because the '\partial' command takes effect
on the previous measure, *extending* it with three quarters.
That's tricky, therefore '\partial' commands are best issued
in the middle of the measure it should take effect on:
\alternative { { c \partial 2; d b } { d e f g } }
this will work too.

Hope this clarifies the issue a bit.

Thanks!

Well, Chord mode assumes 'c' to be a chord (<c e g>); Note mode assumes
'c' to be a note. It's only for convenience, that we offer the kludge
of typing '@c@' in note mode, as a sort of shorthand.
Perhaps it's better to drop this feature, and require to type:
x.ly:
\score{
\notes\relative c''{ c d e f \chords{ g } a b c }
}
(hw: * why can't the '{' '}' after '\chords' be omitted?
* why isn't the chord being transposed to its proper relative position?)

This has been dropped.

Not in use yet, commented out. It should be used to set the naming
style of named Chords. Banter style is the only one in use.
There were suggestions/proposals for other namings...
