still confused, but a new idea struck me: the problem is not with that example, 
but with all other?  I hope I'll have time to do that in two days.

The CG asks that for every new line of music you put the note length of the 
first note of every measure that starts a new line, even though it is not 
technically needed.

That's all.

So for example

\override NoteHead #'style = #'blackpetrucci 
  a'8*4/3 a' 
  \override NoteHead #'style = #'petrucci 
  a'\longa

should be written

\override NoteHead #'style = #'blackpetrucci 
  a'8*4/3 a' % <------ note is only numbered on first instance of same line
  \override NoteHead #'style = #'petrucci 
  a'8\longa  % <------ note is numbered on first instance of next new line

Does this help?
