Hi Peter, thanks for the information (and for all scans/quotes from Gould). I agree that she would not approve a solution that confuses with clef transposition, but above the clef of the top stave is not what LilyPond is doing, is it? Look at the solution that the Sibelius software uses: <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n153706/sibelius.png> IMO, there is no confusion between what is a bar number and what is a transposition. And its solution respects what 99% of all other scores and engravers do (at least, I could still not find a single example of LilyPond's style of bar numbering anywhere else). Take care!
