that's not my understanding - it just says/defines: now we are at this position. for instance we can use repetitive code: { \clef "treble_8" \bar "" \partial 8*5 \repeat unfold 6 { c4 d \breathe \set Timing.measurePosition = #(ly:make-moment 3/8) % \set Timing.measurePosition = #(ly:make-moment -5/8) % in a 4/4 measure would be the same! } c8 d e f g -"stop!" a1 } setting the measurePosition doesn't care for what happened before. once the end of the measure is reached (here after the five 8th: c8 d e f g) the bar number count will be augmented. a negative ratio defines how far away from the measure end we are. the \partial command corresponds to setting a negative ratio in measurePosition. please correct me if I misunderstood it!
