Abstract
The -partition generating function is a quasisymmetric function obtained from a labeled poset. Recently, Liu and Weselcouch gave a formula for the coefficients of when expanded in the quasisymmetric power sum function basis. This formula generalizes the classical Murnaghan--Nakayama rule for Schur functions. We extend this result to weighted -partitions and provide a short combinatorial proof, avoiding the Hopf algebra machinery used by Liu--Weselcouch.
