-@example
-\set Timing.measurePosition -@var{duration}
-@end example

-So the first example above could be written:
-
-@lilypond[quote,verbatim,relative=1]
-\time 3/4
-\set Timing.measurePosition = #(ly:make-moment -1/8)
-e8 | a4 c8 b c4 |
-@end lilypond
-
-The property @code{measurePosition} contains a rational number,
-which is usually positive and indicates how much of the measure
-has passed at this point. @code{\partial @var{duration}} is
-defined such that no numbered bar gets created: when used at the
-beginning of a score, @code{measurePosition} is set to a
-negative number, implying that the current bar will be
-@emph{preceded} by additional material. When used elsewhere, it
-moves the requested distance before the @emph{end} of the bar.
