Bar numbers can be typeset at regular intervals instead of just at
the beginning of every line. To do this the default behavior
must be overridden to permit bar numbers to be printed at places
this, the @code{padding} property of @rinternals{BarNumber} can
be used to position the number correctly.
-Bar numbers may only be printed at bar lines; to print a bar
-number at the beginning of a piece, an empty bar line must be
-inserted there, and a value other than @code{1} must be placed
-in @code{currentBarNumber}:
