Putting the bar number at the start of the line would require

   %{ 5 %} a,4 ( a4 ) ( b4 ) d4 |

instead.
I like that.  It's tedious to type manually, but a computer program
doesn't know that word :-)
Indeed, but i find it unreadable, especially if it was placed at every line.
I think that the best way to mark bar numbers in source is to make a
separate-line comment every 5 or so measures:

     \clef "treble" \key c \major \numericTimeSignature \time 4/4
     a4 ( a4) ( b4 ) d4 |
     \key c \major a4 ( a4 ) ( b4 ) d4 |
     a4 ( a4 ) ( b4 ) d4 |
     g1 |
     % m.5
     a,4 ( a4 ) ( b4 ) d4 |
     g1 |
     a,4 ( a4 ) ( b4 ) d4 |
     g1 |
     a,4 ( a4 ) ( b4 ) d4 |
     % m.10
     g1 |
     a,4 ( a4 ) ( b4 ) d4 |
etc.

I have come to the conclusion that it is a _very_ good idea to make a measure number for _every_ measure.
That way you have a measure indicator in each Git diff.
Which proves useful to map the change to the location in the file if the line numbers have changed considerably in the meantime.
