Abstract: The additive primitive length of an element $f$ of a relatively free algebra $F_d$ in a variety of algebras is equal to the minimal number $ell$ such that $f$ can be presented as a sum of $ell$ primitive elements. We give an upper bound for the additive primitive length of the elements in the $d$-generated polynomial algebra over a field of characteristic 0, $d>1$. The bound depends on $d$ and on the degree of the element. We show that if the field has more than two elements, then the additive primitive length in free $d$-generated nilpotent-by-abelian Lie algebras is bounded by 5 for $d=3$ and by 6 for $d>3$. If the field has two elements only, then our bound are 6 for $d=3$ and 7 for $d>3$. This generalizes a recent result of Ela Ayd{i}n for two-generated free metabelian Lie algebras. In all cases considered in the paper the presentation of the elements as sums of primitive can be found effectively in polynomial time.
