I think what he means is that your "more or less minimal example" doesn't throw
any warning or error messages in LilyPond 2.18.0. Here is a minimal example:
\version "2.18.0"
\paper { ragged-right = ##t }
music = \relative b' {
\partial 4 c4
c1
\break
\partial 4 d4
d1
}
\score {
\music
\layout {}
}
which does throw the warning:
Interpreting music...
SpuriousPartialWarning.ly:11:3: warning: trying to use \partial after the start
of a piece
\partial 4 d4
I think the difference is that your anacruces(?) are in different scores, while
mine are in the same score.
The good news is that the above snippet doesn't throw any warning messages at
2.19.15. So you could upgrade to that or wait for 2.20 to be released.
