I'm sure I'm not the first person to ask this, but I'm looking for a
clean, way to align music variables which begin with partial measures.
For example,
\version "2.19.82"
partA = { c'2 b | R1*3 }
partB = { \partial 4 g4 | \bar "||" c'1 }
\score { { \partA \partB } }
In reality, there would be multiple partBs and some of them would
start with a pickup and some of them wouldn't. One think I can do is
explicitly shorten the end of partA so that partB lines up, but it
involves some mixing of content and structure. Is there a best
practice for this situation?
As illustrated by the diverse responses you already recevied, the
question is what you want to achieve.
I recently typeset a Telemann suite with a number of "movements" to be
played attacca, which in the original print was typeset without any
separation between these movements. I then took the typesetting decision
to keep it that way and used a solution more or less identical to your
example above, with an additional \bar "||" \break between these parts.
Thanks to the improvements introduced in Lilypond 2.19, these mid-piece
\partials work smoothly. However, I could also have chosen other ways to
typeset the music.
If this is a way of saving typing when typesetting music with recurring
material, you might be able to use \tag to handle slight variations,
such as shortening a measure that is to be followed by a pickup. Or
simply leave out the bar that varies, and insert it manually between the
music that's stored in variables.
