When I wrote my *really* dirty workaround not too long ago (search for 
BarNumberStaff in the mailing list, since the LSR is down right now), I 
came to the conclusion that this is not easily supported out-of-the-box.

+1. At the very least, even if it's not common practice, it should do no 
harm to add this option for both MultiMeasureRests and PercentRepeats, 
neither should it be too hard for someone who understands what's going 
on internally and knows how the first number gets suppressed.
