Indeed, but i find it unreadable, especially if it was placed at every line.
I think that the best way to mark bar numbers in source is to make a
separate-line comment every 5 or so measures:

>     \clef "treble" \key c \major \numericTimeSignature \time 4/4
>     a4 ( a4) ( b4 ) d4 |
>     \key c \major a4 ( a4 ) ( b4 ) d4 |
>     a4 ( a4 ) ( b4 ) d4 |
>     g1 |
>     % m.5
>     a,4 ( a4 ) ( b4 ) d4 |
>     g1 |
>     a,4 ( a4 ) ( b4 ) d4 |
>     g1 |
>     a,4 ( a4 ) ( b4 ) d4 |
>     % m.10
>     g1 |
>     a,4 ( a4 ) ( b4 ) d4 |

etc.
