AFAIU, \score { ... } acts like a shortcut for \new Score { ... }. Thus,
  \new Score \with { \override BarNumber #'break-visibility = #'#(#t #t 
#t) } { \new Staff \repeat unfold 40 c'1 }
will work as well.

But this makes me wonder: I vaguely remember a distinction of \score and 
\new Score, which I can't find in the docs. Actually, I'm not sure the 
\new Score construct is even mentioned in the docs. Is this intentional? 
Is it unnecessarily complicated? Are there drawbacks of using it?
