-Repeats with upbeats can be entered in two ways:

-\partial 4
-e |
-\repeat volta 4 { c2 d | e2 f | }
-\alternative {
- { g4 g g e }
- { a4 a a a | b2. }
+If a repeat starts in the middle of a measure and has no alternate
+endings, normally the end of the repeat will also fall in the
+middle of a measure, so that the two ends add up to one complete
+measure. In such cases, the repeat signs do not constitute true
+bar lines. Do not use @code{\partial} commands or bar checks
+where these repeat signs are printed:
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=1]
+% no \partial here
+c4 e g % no bar check here
+% no \partial here
+\repeat volta 4 {
+ e4 |
+ c2 e |
+ % no \partial here
+ g4 g g % no bar check here
}
+% no \partial here
+g4 |
+a2 a |
+g1 |
@end lilypond
-@noindent
-or
+Similarly, if a repeat begins with the initial partial measure of
+a score and has no alternate endings, the same conditions apply as
+in the above example, except that in this case the @code{\partial}
+command is required at the beginning of the score:
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=1]
+\partial 4 % required
+\repeat volta 4 {
+ e4 |

+When alternate endings are added to a repeat that begins with an
+incomplete measure, it becomes necessary to set the
+@code{Timing.measureLength} context property manually, in the
+following specific places:
+

+@item

@cindex repeat and slur
@cindex slur and repeat
+Slurs that span from a @code{\repeat} block into an
+@code{\alternative} block will only work for the first alternate
+ending. Also, slurs cannot wrap around from the end of one
+alternative back to the beginning of the repeat.
+
+If a repeat that begins with an incomplete measure has an
+@code{\alternative} block that contains modifications to the
+@code{measureLength} property, using @code{\unfoldRepeats} will
+result in wrongly-placed bar lines and bar check warnings.

@code{\alternative} belongs. This ambiguity is resolved by always
having the @code{\alternative} belong to the inner @code{\repeat}.
For clarity, it is advisable to use braces in such situations.
-Timing information is not remembered at the start of an alternative,
-so after a repeat timing information must be reset by hand; for

-@code{\partial}. Similarly, slurs are also not repeated.
