Re: bar counters

[Mats Bengtsson]

As you know, it's already possible to get bar numbers on every single 
measure
(or every 5th or whatever) but they will be printed on top of the bar 
lines.
The only new feature I can see in Werner's request is the possibility to
typeset bar numbers centered over each measure. The obvious syntax for
such an option would be a normal property setting, right?
