Comment #6 on issue 2445 by address@hidden: Center a number above a  
measure
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2445

@Colin:  I've gotten lilydev up and running, and I'm now trying to figure  
out what files I'd need to modify to post this engraver as a patch.  Thanks  
for offering to help--I will undoubtedly take you up on that!

In the meantime, I've improved it somewhat.  The numbers are now  
accommodated in the vertical spacing.  There is some issue of numbers not  
getting bumped up at times and nestling in too close, but collisions are  
avoided.  (The last two measures of the example show this nestling, and how  
forcing the accidental bumps the number out of the way.)

You can adjust the height by overriding 'outside-staff-padding.  Also, you  
can have independent simultaneous counters on different staves of a system.

It would be great if anyone interested could try this out and see if there  
are any issues with it, ways which I could improve it.
