You don't need to do any searching of the snippet repository.

1.  Go to:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Bars#Bar-numbers
2.  Read the SECOND EXAMPLE ON THE PAGE.  The one right after
"selected snippets".

or, in the 2.13 docs,
1.  Go to:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/bars#Bar-numbers
2.  Read the SECOND EXAMPLE ON THE PAGE, which isn't even inside
the "selected snippets" section.  Or read the THIRD EXAMPLE ON THE
PAGE, which says how to do this even clearer.


Some things in lilypond are hard to do.  Some things are only in
the snippet repository.  But this is in the mainstream Notation
reference.
