You could put a \break after the initial partial. Something like this (I'm leaving out the engraver definition found here: http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Snippet?id=838): \relative c' { \partial 4 c \break \repeat unfold 12 { c c c c } \set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 3 4) c c c } \layout { indent = 6\in ragged-last = ##t \context { \Score \consists #(bars-per-line-engraver '(4)) } } Guessing at the indentation isn't ideal, I know...
