Dear Andrew,
The display of bar numbers during repeats gains its practical use when
the repeats are many pages long, making it significantly easier to
rehearse with amny players. One particular example that comes to mind in
my experience is a contemporary choral piece (32 strong choir) that had
a rather large 125-bar (8-page) repeating section.
This meant that when rehearsing with the choir, all we had to do was
refer to the bar number to know which repeat we were doing. Luckily,
there aren't many pieces (aside from symphonies) that employ the
'enormous repeat', so most of the time, musicians don't have to worry
about it.
I look forward to our ongoing correspondence,
With the highest regard,
--Tristan
