Ah, that was the first thing i tried to do with Scheme, quite some
time ago.  I remember it took me over an hour to do this (and i was
just trying to adapt some existing code that i found...)
Here it is:

\override Score.BarNumber #'stencil =
#(lambda (grob)
    (let ((break-dir (ly:item-break-dir grob)))
      (set! (ly:grob-property grob 'font-size)
            (if (= break-dir RIGHT)
                -1
                -3))
      (ly:text-interface::print grob)))

You should be able to adapt it to do other things, for example set
direction.  If you have trouble, ask.

best,
Janek
