There are two kinds of polymetric music AFAIK: "real" polymetric
pieces, where the timeSignature are always different between parts,
and "false" polymetric pieces, where such a method is just used
temporarily, as a special effect, for a more or less short section.
As Mats pointed out, adding bar numbers in a polymetric piece of the
first kind would be somehow pointless. In a piece of the second kind,
you may use a function such as:

However, if have a snippet to propose to make this whole thing more
self-explanatory, it could be great :)
