Please don't just dump partial code that does not compile: this makes it
impossible to accurately see what you are doing.

You probably are using \partial wrong: its argument does not specify how
long it is _since_ a full bar but how long it is _to_ a full bar.

As such, you'd usually see

   ... \time 3/4 \partial 4 c4 | ...

in typical contexts.
