I guess Gould has a point.  I've just realised that, under my system as I described it, a part could have the same bar number twice.  For example, in the attachment below, T has two bars "9".  But apart from an ill-chosen number (in this case), one could regard the "bar numbers" as "numeric rehearsal marks".  Different mechanism, different formatting, same result.  In practice, for the sort of music I'm dealing with, the polymetric sections tend to be quite short so, for the most part, bar numbers are more helpful than rehearsal marks.
