Thanks for sharing this information; as you say, it indeed shows that there
was some thought behind this decision.

Well, I don't think this is particularly complicated. Maybe it would be
interesting to add some example to the snippet repository, which might be
useful to other users who might be interested on this. This is how I usually
write my bar numbers:

bar_numbers_(italic,_small,_to_the_right).ly
<http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n153853/bar_numbers_%28italic%2C_small%2C_to_the_right%29.ly>
  

And I will add this code to the repository later.

Thanks for your reply and take care,
Gilberto
