Rose,
Here's a very simple version of some music laid out
as hymns frequently seem to be. I think you should be able to use this to
modify what you've already done.
\version "2.12.0"
\relative c' { \partial 4 c4
| c c c c | \partial 4*3 c c c \bar "||"
\break \partial 4 c | c c c c | \partial 4*3 c c c
\bar "||" }
\addlyrics { LineOne la la la la
la la la LineTwo la la la la la la la }

Subject: please help a newbie with
partial measures
Hi all,
I've been stewing over what should be simple all
afternoon. I documentation seems to be getting me no where. I'm working on
entering an old hymn. The piece has an upbeat, which I'm having a bit of
trouble with. The partial measures also repeat throughout the hymn. My trouble
is that I can't seem to figure out how to make the bar lines land in the right
places. I could use a complicated set of repeats but the problem is that if I
do that the lyrics line will be complicated as well. There are three verses to
this hymn. Standard hymn writing doesn't have the verses double back. You
repeat when you begin the second verse. What are my options here? I've put the
code below so you can see the challenge that I'm up
against. Thanks, Rose
world = { \key g \major
\time 3/2 \aikenHeads \autoBeamOff \partial
2 }
melody = \relative c'' { \world b4. a8
| % A regular upbeat g2. g4 fs g | a1 | d4. c8
| b2. a4 g fs | g1 | % A partial measure that
compliments the upbeat b4. a8 | % Hear
starts the repeat of the first section g2. g4 fs g | a1 | d4. c8
| b2. a4 g fs | g1 | b4. b8 | % A
unique section. Note the partial first and last measure. a2. b4 c d | c2
[ b] | b4. b8 | a2. b4 c b | b2 [ a] | b4. a8 | %
Another repeat of the first section g2. g4 fs g | a1 | d4. c8
| b2. a4 g fs | g1 \bar "|." }
