Okay, thanks. I'd prefer not making them grey actually:
that would be a first time for a non-black default in
LilyPond, and I have bad experience with the reproducibility
of grey shades across printers.

Other than that, I made them sensibly bigger than the usual
bar numbers as you proposed, and went with a padding of 4.

Please test and comment!
