It might look related from an engraving point of view, but to me it
seems like bar numbers are at present logically attached to a bar line.
To position them in the centre of each measure, you would need the
whole measure as context. I'm totally with you and Werner that this is
technically possible, but much more complex - you probably need to
switch between measures and bar lines as alignment points in order to
retain the possibility to achieve the current layout.
