Thanks Jakob,
I've restored Bar_number_engraver to the Voice context "Mean" to avoid
the spurious barline in that part. I then incorporated your code
(verbatim) and tried "addtobarnumber #2" in the Mean part just before
the double bar. This didn't change the bar numbering.
Am I missing something? Are there some things I should change in your
code to fit my circumstances?
