I have submitted the following changes (the numerical values correspond to
the BarNumber object):
|side-axis| (number):
|1|
If the value is #X (or equivalently 1), the object is placed
horizontally next to the other object. If the value is #Y or 0, it is
placed vertically.
|direction| (direction):
|1|
If side-position is #X, then this property determines if the object is
placed #LEFT, #CENTER or #RIGHT with respect to the other object.
Otherwise, it determines if the object is placed #UP #CENTER or #DOWN.
Numerical values may also be used. #UP=1, #DOWN=-1, #LEFT=-1, #RIGHT=1,
CENTER=0 but also other numerical values are permitted.
I hope this will make it more clear. Note that printing the relevant
interpretation
of the default value, such as "1 (#UP)" or "1 (#LEFT)" would be just as
difficult
(if not more difficult) than being able to handle alternative text
strings for the
same property in different objects (when I said it was "probably
difficult" I
meant "with 99.9% difficult"). ;-)
Note also that you can use
\override Score.BarNumber #'direction = #-2
or
\override Score.BarNumber #'direction = #0.58
if you wish. I tried to clarify that aspect too in the text above.

If it would lead to as much work as you say then at least a verbal

(most?) other properties.
Please go ahead and suggest something, see

Not very easy to come with a one size fits all definition but maybe
this would be help:
|direction| (direction):
|1|
A value -1, 0 or 1 meaning whichever of (left, center or right) or
(down, center or up) makes sense for this layout object. #LEFT,
#CENTER, #RIGHT and #DOWN, #CENTER, #UP may be used instead of the
numbers.
I would also suggest adding something to the default values listed
under the property name which would give a further hint to the meaning.
For example the property definition for the BarNumber layout object
might read:
direction (direction)
1 (#UP)
A value -1, 0 or 1 meaning whichever of (left, center or right) or
(down, center or up) makes sense for this layout object. #LEFT=-1,
#CENTER=0, #RIGHT=1 and #DOWN=-1, #CENTER=0, #UP=1 may be used instead
of the numbers.
