4.3.6 Partial measures

Partial measures, for example in upsteps, are entered using the \partial command:

     \partial 16*5  c16 cis d dis e |   a2. c,4 | b2

The syntax for this command is

       \partial duration

This is internally translated into

       \property Timing.measurePosition = -length of duration

The property measurePosition contains a rational number indicating how much of the measure has passed at this point.
