Plus one for this. Although I'm quite happy with this MR
centre-justifying over the barline. Before the bar line definitely feels
wrong - I was taught to count rests by counting the bar number on the
last beat: 1 2 3 1 1 2 3 2 1 2 3 3 etc, so yes the bar number would
appear to apply to the wrong bar ...
Bear in mind we put rehearsal marks (including bar number marks)
centre-justified by default, so why not bar numbers.
And again, having options makes things better - don't forget not
everybody plays orchestral music, there's a LOT of music people might
want to copy that pre-dates Gould (is ANY post-Gould music out of
copyright?), and different traditions do things in different ways (much
of the stuff I like playing is pre-Gould).
Cheers,
