Re: what's wrong with \partial

[address@hidden]

Try this:

Change \partial 2 to \partial 4

"\partial 2" means that the first measure contains a half-note's worth of time. 
 It does *not* mean the first part of the measure you want to leave out.  You 
obviously want only one quarter note in the partial measure so you need 
'\partial 4'.
