Yes, I've read that section regularly for the last 15 years or so, and
obviously never understood it. I've occasionally managed to get an
anacrusis entered correctly, but since I don't usually use barlines, I
haven't always been able to tell whether Lily understood what I was
saying or not.
I always thought that if I ever did figure out what it meant, I should
help rewrite it.
How about:
\partial DURATION
where 'DURATION' describes the length of the partial measure. For
example:
\time 4/4
\partial 4
g4 | c c c2 |
I think including an example in a case like this is always a good idea.
