Hi, Alexandros.

Bar numbers are created at score level, so usually everything's above 
all staff-level stuff.
But you can remove the Bar_number_engraver from the score, add it to the 
topmost staff, and fiddle around with the 'outside-staff-priority of the 
markups:

\new Score \with {
  \remove Bar_number_engraver
}{
  <<
    \new Staff \with {
      \consists Bar_number_engraver
    } \relative c''{
      \override Score.BarNumber #'break-visibility = #'#(#f #t #t)
      \set Score.currentBarNumber = #66
      \bar ""
      \partial 8 f8-\tweak #'outside-staff-priority #1000 ^\markup{Text} |
      f f f f c c c c
      \bar "||"
    }
  >>
}
