Re: Should \partial accept music instead of duration?

[Valentin Petzel]

Hello Carl,

I don’t think recreating \partial is the best thing to do. After all we can 
simply do

pickupNotes =
#(define-music-function (mus) (ly:music?)
   (let* ((mom (ly:music-length mus))
          (dur (make-duration-of-length mom)))
     #{
       \partial #dur
       #mus
     #}))

Cheers,
Valentin
