Thanks Robin.
In fact but I was more concern by the long comments :

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%% Store the following until
%%   %% end of include file
%% as BarNumberStaff-1.0.ily.
%% To use it in your projects, write
%%   \include "<path-to-file/>BarNumberStaff-1.0.ily"
%% to define the BarNumberStaff context described below.

%% BarNumberStaff
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%% Version 1.0
%% 2009, Alexander Kobel (www.a-kobel.de)
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%% Defines the
%%   BarNumberStaff
%% context, to be used as a more prominent measure counter
%% in between of staff groups in large scores.
%%
%% To use it, insert
%%   \new BarNumberStaff { ... }
%% into your score, where { ... } is a combination of
%% MultiMeasureRests, RehearsalMarks and optionally skips and
%% attached TextScripts.
%% Every MultiMeasureRest is translated to the bar number of
%% the current measure, RehearsalMarks and TextScripts are
%% printed as usual.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%


%% This should also work with older versions, probably up
%% to <= 2.10. Please report if this is the case.
%% However, note that Joe Neeman's new vertical spacing
%% algorithm greatly improves the default influence of a
%% BarNumberStaff to the overall score layout, thus version
%% >= 2.13.x is recommended (see lines 213 - 231).
%\version "2.14.0"


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%% Internals
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%% BarNumberStaves use MultiMeasureRests to render bar numbers.
%% The underlying concept is as follows:
%%
%% A global measure counter is initialized to 0.
%% Conceptually, each time a MultiMeasureRestNumber is rendered, the
%% global measure counter is examined, incremented, and used as 'text.
%% To handle compressed full measure rests, the 'text callback of
%% MultiMeasureRestNumber hijacks the 'measure-count property of the
%% parental MultiMeasureRest to know how many bars have been compressed.
%%
%% To allow several scores per file, or several BarNumberStaves per score,
%% without forcing the user to reset the global counter or initialize
%% several 'text callbacks per BarNumberStaff, the callback further
%% checks the 'when moment of the NonMusicalPaperColumn of the rest,
%% and stores both the moment and the respective bar number in another
%% global variable. If a moment before the cached value is encountered,
%% a new score is assumed and the global state is reset. If the same
%% moment is encountered, another BarNumberStaff calls the bar number
%% at the same position, so the increment of the global measure counter
%% has already been done.
