- Partial bars:
You probably don't want to use \partial in the middle of a piece. In your 
example, it tends to destroy the bar numbering. I think it's a better idea to 
set Timing.measureLength directly.

Also, autobeaming is only designed to work as long as nothing strange happens 
with time. IIRC, the beam isn't ended until the first note _after_ the last 
beamed note; and since this note happens after the \partial command, the 
engine gets confused and concludes that there can be no beam. In these 
situations, it's always possible to manually beam instead.

- Barcheck warning: Again, \partial should usually not be done in the middle 
of a piece. The problem is that one of the \partials changes the time, and 
this confuses the barcheck preceding the other \partial happens.

You can easily remove the warnings, by removing the barchecks.

Try
http://lilypond.org/bugs/v2.7/
(it's not always up-to-date, but it's usually correct to >90%, so it's a good 
place to check)
