Re: alternatives and partial measures

[Mats Bengtsson]

I managed to do it using the \partial command in the following way:

\version "2.7.6"

\score{
 \relative c'' {
   \repeat volta 2 {
     \time 6/8
     \partial 8
     c8
     c4. c4. |
   }
   \alternative {
     { \partial 8*5 c4. c4  }
     { c4. c4 }
   }
   \bar "||"
   \partial 8 c8 |
   c2.
 }
}
