I have the following lilypond syntax: \time 6/4 g8[ d8] \bar "|" f4 g8[ a8] a4( g2) g8[ c8] | a4.( g8) f8[ g8] g2. \bar "|." Since the total beat count is 13 (not easily divisible by 6) and the last note is 3 beats, lilypond adds an empty bar at the end of the staff before the ending bar which is elicit. I would like to fix this by separating the first two 8th notes into their one mini-staff. How might I do that?
You are almost certainly looking for what’s called an upbeat or anacrusis, and which is achieved in LilyPond using the \partial command. See <http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/learning/bar-lines-and-bar-checks> and <http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/learning/advanced-rhythmic-commands#partial-measure>.
Understanding all of the learning manual is essential to a (largely) care-free entry into the Lily Pond…
Best, Simon
