I guess Gould has a point.  I've just realised that, under my system as
I described it, a part could have the same bar number twice.  For
example, in the attachment below, T has two bars "9".  But apart from an
ill-chosen number (in this case), one could regard the "bar numbers" as
"numeric rehearsal marks".  Different mechanism, different formatting,
same result.  In practice, for the sort of music I'm dealing with, the
polymetric sections tend to be quite short so, for the most part, bar
numbers are more helpful than rehearsal marks.
