Can you post a png of the beginning of part 2? Perhaps
there's a missing indication of first and second endings for
the repeat? Two partial measures in a row is highly
suspicious. Don't forget that repeat signs are not
necessarily bar lines, and that they occasionally appear in
the middle of a measure, perhaps creating the illusion of a
partial measure. An "incomplete" measure in the middle of a
score should be notated with a change in the time signature,
and, as far as I know, NEVER with \partial. Perhaps it
would make more sense to use two \score blocks, one for each
part.
The link Marek provided will work, but may take a while to
load since it loads the whole Notation Reference. Here's a
quicker link to the "split" version of the same section:

Hopefully this will be enough to help you figure it out.
