Re: Allow LilyPond to automatically handle then end of a staff with \partial

[Trevor Daniels]

I see what you're suggesting now - you'd like the bar check on the 
final bar automatically to take the initial \partial into account, 
if there was one, by adding the length of first and last bars 
together, right?  It would be nice feature.  Bet Sibelius and Finale 
don't do that!
