Thank you Aaron.

Malte, can you explain why you have mentioned \partial 8*7 is not 
needed ?.


Probably since Malte uses the latest stable version, 2.20, which handles 
these things much better than what was done in version 2.18. Try it out 
and you should be able to remove all your \partial commands and get the 
result you expect!

Odd, there should not be any bar check failures.

But I did not have access to my local LilyPond installation, so I had to 
use lilybin.com.  It does not show the program output unless there is an 
error.


Ignore my post then.

Same for this \partial 8*4.

I'm trying to typeset some Victorian choral music with some strange
time changes that switch between. Attached samples.

e.g.
eg1, 4.5th beat of 4/4 time it goes to pickup bar (\partial 8) of 6/8 
time.
eg2, On the 5th beat of 6/8 time it goes to pickup bar(\partial 4) of 
4/4.


The time changes are for accompaniment interludes, no choral part is 
printed.


What are my options to typeset such music ?
