It appears that RhythmicStaves do not have a tonic property.  So there
is no reference from which you can derive the numbering.  You can
explicitly specify a tonic:

%%%%
   \new RhythmicStaff \with { tonic = #(ly:make-pitch 0 0 0) }
     { \easyHeadsOn a4 b8 a }
%%%%

Aaron, that's great!

Thank you!!
