Re: Partial measure moment

Hi.

The problem is presented in the following:

I thought that it might be a bug but:

Hence I tried

  g2. \set Timing.measurePosition = #(ly:make-moment 2 2) |


But I still get a "barcheck failed" warning from lilypond :-{
I also tried to \set "Timing.mesureLength" but then I got a whole bunch of 
warnings...

Surely, I'm missing something obvious about how to set this properly (?)
as the construct (please see above post) is so common.  What's the right
way to obtain it?
