Thank you. Your suggestion also has the advantage of printing a parenthesized
bar number at the mid-measure line break. Setting measurePosition to zero
printed a regular bar number, which I didn't notice at first.
It's too bad this requires a nonsensical parameter and has to be so far
separated
from the \time that causes the warning, but I'll use it.
It would be best if Lilypond could recognize that
\time 3/4 s2 \time 4/4 \partial 4
is logical and not worthy of a warning. Maybe that's hard to accomplish.
