For example, if a song with 4/4 meter starts with "\partial 4 f4", the last bar should, by convention, have a total length of 3 quarter notes. Having said that, you never should use "\partial" or "\upbeat" somewhere within a piece. If lily nevertheless accepts it within a piece without issuing an error or warning, I consider this a bug.Having a bar within a piece that differs in length from the foreassigned meter is a different concept.
In my example, I _did_ state \noTimeSignature c4 c c c | d d d d \partial 4 d | c c c c... and some contemporary music may want to change the number of beats in a bar without changing the notated time signature. Whatever we think of that practice (and I dislike it too :) , I don't think we should explicitly disallow it inside lilypond.
