This works well. I don’t want any visible bar numbers in my output, but I
can’t use \remove "Bar_number_engraver" in combination with your approach,
so instead I am using:
\override BarNumber.transparent = ##t
Thank you, Kieren! You may wish to add your coding approach as a comment on
GitLab <https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/1885>, as I suspect
it will be useful to others.
