If you mean self-alignment-X this causes the bar numbers at the 
beginning of a line to collide with the clef sign.  I think it will take 
logic to distinguish between the bar numbers at the beginning of a line 
and the other bar numbers to implement this correctly.  The current 
default works correctly for bar numbers at the beginning of the lines.
