??? If you know that the last measure is incomplete, it's obvious that you will get a bar check error if you insert a bar check there. If you really want to verify that the last measure is exactly 7/8 long (for example), you could explicitly set the measure length manually for that measure:

\relative c'{\partial 8 c8 |
 c4 d e f |
 \set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 7 8) d2 c4. | \bar "|."
}

    Bar checks are only intended to help you make sure that LilyPond
    thinks that the measure is
    finished at the same place as you think it is.

    If you want an ending bar line, just use \bar "|." (or whatever
    bar type you wish) but not a bar check.

        A feature I would like is to make it so that barchecks don't
        fail on the end of a staff started with \partial. Especially
        in songs, the last measure will usually be cut down by the
        same amount as the \partial at the beginning. Currently I have
        to hide the time signature and change time at the end of the
        staff to make it look right.

        Other than that Lilypond has worked wonderfully for our
        booklet we're making. Thanks!
