Hi,

It is explained as a snippet in the doc: "Printing the bar number for
the first measure"
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/bars.html#Bar-numbers

  By default, the first bar number in a score is suppressed if it is
  less than or equal to ‘1’.  By setting barNumberVisibility to
  all-bar-numbers-visible, any bar number can be printed for the first
  measure and all subsequent measures.  Note that an empty bar line
  must be inserted before the first note for this to work.

  \relative c' {
    \set Score.barNumberVisibility = #all-bar-numbers-visible
    \bar ""
    c1 | d | e | f \break
    g1 | e | d | c
  }

Cheers,
Xavier
