Oh my, sometimes the obvious solution is not so obvious. As I said, I
need to pad partial bars in an alternative, and that can be done by
using - partial! As can be seen in one of the examples in 1.4.1. For
some reason it never occured to me to use partial in alternative.

Well, that takes care of that.

Thanks, and happy new year everybody!
