Hi, I like the change in the bar number alignment. I have some comments to your proposal. (The current solution has similar issues, so most of these are not speaking against proposed changes.) The -> denotes the solution for which that is an argument. 1. putting the bar number over the measure

I think Gould's positioning looks _slightly_ better, except at line-beginnings where I definitely prefer lilypond's. Moreover, the position immediately after a bar line is heavily-contested real-estate, as your examples make clear. Therefore it would be good to retain the option to preserve th
