Honestly, what would the purpose be of such bar numbers? For rehearsals,
such bar numbers are useless, since they're different for each part, so you
would need to rely on rehearsal marks instead.
Also, if you try to do the suggested change, you will notice that the 
resulting bar
numbers collide with the left edge bracket/brace/bar line unless you 
move them
further to the left.

What I thought migh make sense, would be to remove the bar number engraver
from the Score context, but it turns out that no bar numbers are typeset 
anyway
(probably since the bar numbering information isn't available at the 
Score level),
so it's not necessary neither.
