Just checked. As I said -- you may want another partial bar

   \relative c {

       \clef bass

       \key c \major

       \time 6/8

        \repeat volta 2 {\partial 8

        c'8

         c4. c |

         c c |

         \partial 8*5

         c r4    |

         }

         c4.~  c \bar "|."

         

Thank you Chris. This does it.

I did not know how to code this.

Best regards,

Yes, that syntax is not obvious from the documentation. I have used this on typesetting some Beethoven variations which have anacrusis bars; I needed "\partial 16*10" in one place.

I think using a partial bar is more intuitive than "/set Timing.measurePosition = #(ly:make-moment 6/8)". But there may be situations where the latter is necessary.

HTH. Thanks,

Chris
