Thanks so much, Andrew--never would have figured that out.
Have a long way to go before I understand the sort of code you
provided so I just experimented with various examples I found that
contained the word "markup" until I got successful compilation.
That crude trial-and-error gave me a working adaptation that
shrinks the text so that it more or less fits:
... (markup #:tiny #:italic "pickup"))
and I now see how markups in lambda functions or whatever they're
called can be formatted.
Anyone with suggestions for points 1 and 2?

1. Vertical alignment/positioning of bar numbers. In the output
the parenthetical bar number for the anacrusis is higher than the
remaining bar numbers.
a. How can I lower it, and how can I raise the others? Are
there commands that would automatically ensure that all are at the
same vertical position?
b. Not as important: is there a way to raise/lower any given
bar number independently?
2. Full control over horizontal alignment of bar numbers. I
(think I) want the bar number for the anacrusis to appear just right
of the clef. I found commands that change the object its aligned to,
but none of those positions were satisfactory. How can move it
horizontally exactly where I want it? Not as important: Is the
procedure different for other individual bar numbers?

Hi Steve,
Re point 3:
You can do
this:
\once
\set Score.barNumberFormatter = #(lambda (bar-number
measure-position alternative-number extra)
(markup "pickup"))
But note
that the length of the text in this case is problematic.
Nevertheless, you may find this formatter very adaptable.

3. Changing bar number text. Can I
change the text for the anacrusis bar number to something
other than "(1)"? Like "0" or "pickup"?
