Bar numbers
Bar numbers are printed by default at the start of the line. The
number itself is a property that can be set by modifying the
currentBarNumber property, i.e.
\property Score.currentBarNumber = #217
To typeset Bar Numbers at regular intervals instead of at the beginning of each line,
you need to change the grob property break-visibility as well as the translator
property barNumberVisibility, as illustrated in the following example which also
adds a box around the bar numbers:
\property Score.BarNumber \override #'break-visibility =
#end-of-line-invisible
\property Score.barNumberVisibility = #(every-nth-bar-number-visible 5)
\property Score.BarNumber \override #'molecule-callback =
#(make-molecule-boxer 0.1 0.25 0.25 Text_item::brew_molecule)
\property Score.BarNumber \override #'font-relative-size = #0

BUGS
Barnumbers can collide with the StaffGroup, if there is one at the top. To solve this, You have to twiddle with the padding property of BarNumber if your score starts with a StaffGroup .
