I suspect that the best you can hope for is bar-numbering for the top stave of
the score.
There is a long thread about this[1], in which the first post has an attachment
that _might_ help you. The conclusion that I drew from the discussion was that
bar numbering in polymetric scores is a can of worms, to be avoided unless the
specific use-case is simple enough to side-step the problems that arise.
Have a look through the thread and see what you think.
