Hi Brian; Thank you for your patience with me.
I found the 2.23.6-1 doc tarball, downloaded it and made a web browser bookmark to it just like I did for 2.22.1 docs. I then carefully read section 1.2.5, looking for my situation. Since I am printing bar numbers in the default manner, the first measure of each line (except for the very first measure) is given a bar number. So I now understand that it might seem weird for a partial measure to get a bar number; and that it should be parenthesized in order to be sure that it was specifically intended. I am now about to attempt implementing the snippet provided into my engraving.
