Having said that, you never should use "\partial" or "\upbeat" somewhere
within a piece. If lily nevertheless accepts it within a piece without
issuing an error or warning, I consider this a bug.
Having a bar within a piece that differs in length from the foreassigned
meter is a different concept.
In my example, I _did_ state
\noTimeSignature
c4 c c c | d d d d \partial 4 d | c c c c
... and some contemporary music may want to change the number of beats
in a bar without changing the notated time signature. Whatever we think
of that practice (and I dislike it too :) , I don't think we should
explicitly disallow it inside lilypond.
