The meaning of the bar check | has changed to obviate the need to use
\partial.
The following should result in the short bar you are after.
[d'16 f' g' ees'][f' d' ees' c'][d' bes g ees'][d' bes c' a]|
bes4 r \bar "||"; |
s16[bes' d' g'][f' f'' a' ees''][f' d'' ees' c''][d' bes' c' a']|
Disclaimer: I'm writing from work and I haven't had an opportunity to
actually test this. But this is what the documentation says should happen.
It WILL generate a warning about a failed bar check, but you can ignore
this. You might want to add an appropriate comment:
bes4 r \bar "||"; | % short bar: ignore bar check warning
