Well, time is an issue. Also an issue is the feeling that a good solution requires functionality which isn't (so far as I know) part of LilyPond. (It would be nice to be able to get info about the unfolded music when it's folded -- i.e., the bar numbers Peter is after.) And that I shouldn't be coopting the MeasureCounter grob. Also relevant is the fact that this code requires a lot of familiarity with LilyPond internals. Certainly a comment here and there is useful, and I'm remiss, but you would still have to know how to write a Scheme engraver.
