Removing a warning is always simple.  I do have a problem figuring out
what is logical about that on contrast to "unlogical versions", though,
and that makes it hard to decide about a useful warning strategy.  Why
wouldn't you delay \time 4/4 here until _after_ the remaining quarter
note?

\partial currently works after the time step is really over.  That's
actually important for making a decision about when and when not to
produce a bar line.  Not sure whether it would be feasible to also make
some immediate setting that would keep \time from making a warning.

Apart from the warning, are the bar numbers what you would expect from
writing the above?
