This score benefits a _lot_ from placing the following from
<URL:http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2012-09/msg00419.html>
in your layout block:

  \context {
    \Voice
    \consists
    #(make-engraver
      (acknowledgers
       ((note-head-interface engraver grob source)
        (let* ((now (ly:moment-main
                     (ly:context-property
                      (ly:translator-context engraver)
                      'measurePosition 0)))
               (g (ly:engraver-make-grob engraver 'TextScript grob)))
         (ly:grob-set-property! g 'text
          #{ \markup \fontsize #-3 #(format #f "~a" now)
             #})))))
    }
