Rose,
 
Here's a very simple version of some music laid out as hymns frequently seem to be.  I think you should be able to use this to modify what you've already done.
 
\version "2.12.0"
 
\relative c' {
  \partial 4 c4 |
  c c c c |
  \partial 4*3 c c c \bar "||"
  \break
  \partial 4 c |
  c c c c |
  \partial 4*3 c c c \bar "||"
}
 
\addlyrics {
  LineOne la la la la la la la
  LineTwo la la la la la la la
}

Hi all,
I've been stewing over what should be simple all afternoon. I documentation seems to be getting me no where. I'm working on entering an old hymn. The piece has an upbeat, which I'm having a bit of trouble with. The partial measures also repeat throughout the hymn. My trouble is that I can't seem to figure out how to make the bar lines land in the right places. I could use a complicated set of repeats but the problem is that if I do that the lyrics line will be complicated as well. There are three verses to this hymn. Standard hymn writing doesn't have the verses double back. You repeat when you begin the second verse. What are my options here? I've put the code below so you can see the challenge that I'm up against.
Thanks,
Rose

world = {
  \key g \major
  \time 3/2
  \aikenHeads
  \autoBeamOff
  \partial 2
}

melody = \relative c'' {
  \world
b4. a8 |    % A regular upbeat
g2. g4 fs g |
a1 |
d4. c8 |
b2. a4 g fs |
g1 |     % A partial measure that compliments the upbeat
b4. a8 |       % Hear starts the repeat of the first section
g2. g4 fs g |
a1 |
d4. c8 |
b2. a4  g fs |
g1 |
b4. b8 |     % A unique section. Note the partial first and last measure.
a2. b4 c d |
c2 [ b] |
b4. b8 |
a2. b4 c b |
b2 [ a] |
b4. a8 |   % Another repeat of the first section
g2. g4 fs g |
a1 |
d4. c8 |
b2. a4 g fs |
g1  \bar "|."
}
