Actually, printing bar numbers at the start of each line is NOT general
practice. Yes I think it's great, and leave it there when I'm redoing
parts, but I've almost never seen it in any music I've been given to play.

(Like a lot of music I play leaves off the key signature at the start of
each line ... - though that is usually because the music is being
crammed onto a small sheet.)
