Thank you for the many images that accompany your suggestion, this is
helpful. However, they clearly show that you are actually barking up
the wrong tree: the images coming with your original e-mail do *not*
show the Nashville Number System at all but rather the Chinese Jianpu
system!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numbered_musical_notation
This is already covered with an issue:
https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/3332
Additionally, there exists an add-on implementation for it in LilyPond
that seems to work quite well for simple cases (see attached example)
but not covering the polyphonal case shown in your last image.
https://github.com/nybbs2003/lilypond-Jianpu/blob/master/jianpu10a.ly
To summarize: It makes sense to file a feature request for the
Nashville Numbering System, but to do that you have to find better –
and correct – samples.
