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
     

[picture of music]

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.
