Yes.  I was having some trouble with Thunderbird and accidently sent it 
to you.

I probably would be happy just being able to have UP and DOWN as choices 
and have the bar number only at the left.  I was partially responding to 
the confusion in the documentation and to the bug described below.

I agree and this is exactly what current default does except it is also 
the bar number of the previous bar.  This probably comes from the code 
to  position bar numbers at the beginning of the line in which case the 
bar number does precede the measure to which if refers.
