Well, I should probably have written

\score {
  { \partial 4
    \skip 4
    [the actual score]
  }
  \midi { }
}

I'm not totally clear on when the Score context is created.  If the
above still fails to work, something like
\score {
  \new Score { ...

might do the trick in order to have the Score context be available in
time to see the time-keeping instructions.
