IMHO it is a misunderstanding that musixtex.tex already contains a
function doing the desired thing. Since outputting the bar number at the
system beginning is hard-coded in the \writ@staffs macro and this macro
does not contain any "user exit" for hooking in something like that,
you'll have to hack a \writ@staffs extension. The following draft works
for me (setting the bar number only on the topmost staff of multi-staff
instruments):
8<---------------------------------------------
\makeatletter
% for switching on instrument-wise bar numbering
\def\staffnumbers{\nobarnumbers\let\lin@bar\tw@}
% the \writ@staffs hack
\let\writ@staffs@rig\writ@staffs
\def\writ@staffs{%
\writ@staffs@rig
\n@loop
\ifx\lin@bar\tw@
\Comp@High
\raise\altitude\hbox{%
\raise\y@v\hbox{%
\raise\raisebarno\rlap{\kern\shiftbarno\writebarno}}}%
\fi
\repeat}
\makeatother
% some customizing like this will be necessary
% to avoid collisions of bar numbers and clefs
\def\writebarno{\tenit\the\barno\barnoadd}
\def\raisebarno{3\internote}
\def\shiftbarno{5mm}
% do it
\staffnumbers
