If I were you I'd separate the movements of the sonata into different 
files and use a master file to assemble them. I think this would solve 
the problem of the \partial instances because you wouldn't be trying to 
make a transition from one movement to another in the same file, and 
it's also easier to organize.  So you'd have a master file that looks 
something like this:


\version "2.10.33"

\header {
}

\paper {
}

\include "firstmovement.ly"
\include "secondmovement.ly"
\include "thirdmovement.ly"

Keep all the files in the same directory and it'll work fine.  HTH,

Jon
