Clarification: (3) may be a disadvantage of the example that has been labeled "Gould," but I don't believe that we have found a start-of-line example in Behind Bars. I think we could address both (1) and (3) by leaving start-of-line numbers as they are and shifting mid-line numbers into their measure. Also, let me add, 6. Resourceful people have provided some good examples in https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/merge_requests/447 (-> ?) At least one of those examples also shows an alternative solution to (3): align bar numbers to the right of clefs and key signatures (as LilyPond currently does for rehearsal marks). I'm not advocating it, just mentioning it. — Dan
