	~~Bar~~ numbers ~~by default~~ are right-aligned ~~to their parent object~~. ~~This is usually~~ the ~~left edge~~ of a line or, ~~if numbers are printed within a~~ line, ~~the left~~-~~hand side~~ of ~~a bar line. The numbers may also be positioned directly over the bar line or left~~-~~aligned to the bar~~ line.		The default alignment of bar numbers depends on its position: at the beginning of a staff, bar numbers are right-aligned; at all other positions, they are left-aligned. Using Scheme function <code>break-alignment-list</code>, this can be changed; the three arguments of this function are the alignment for end-of-line, middle-of-line, and start-of-line position (in this order).
