The meaning of \partial now seems to have changed, with unfortunate
results. It used to allow a short bar in the middle of a piece e.g.

\time 4/4;
...
[d'16 f' g' ees'][f' d' ees' c'][d' bes g ees'][d' bes c' a]|
\partial 4*2; bes4 r \bar "||";
s16[bes' d' g'][f' f'' a' ees''][f' d'' ees' c''][d' bes' c' a']|
...

Now \partial is stated to be only for use at the beginning of a
score, and in the above case (with 1.1.60) cancels the preceding bar
line, creating one 4*6 bar rather than 4*4 + 4*2 bars.

How does one now have a short bar in the middle of a piece?
\time forces printing of a key signature (not in the original),
adding \skip 2; to the above leaves a space in the printout,
\cadenza seems to foul up parallel voices,
using \times 2/1; works but is a horrid hack...
