I experimented with \breathe:

\version "2.17.2"


numberedBreathe = #(define-music-function (parser location str) (string?)
  #{
     \once \override BreathingSign #'Y-offset = #4
     \once \override BreathingSign #'text = \markup { \override 
#'(baseline-skip . 0.5)
          \center-column { \small #str \musicglyph #"scripts.rcomma" } }
     \breathe
 #})

{
c4 c \numberedBreathe "2" c c \numberedBreathe "4" c c
}

seems to work quite nicely.

Marc
