Hi Nick,

I haven't had to do this before but it seems to work right without using 
\partial after the beginning of the piece.  See if this gets the output 
you want.  I just copied the same notes in to act as the B section:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\version "2.12.3"

\relative c'' {
        \time 4/4
        \repeat volta 2 {
                \partial 8 gis8 |
                fis4 g g c, |
                b2. r8
        }
        \repeat volta 2 {
                gis'8
                fis4 g g c, |
                b2. r8
        }
}
