For film scores, a common convention is to center bar numbers within their measure. This is achieved through setting the <code>centerBarNumbers</code> context property to true. When this is used, the type of the bar number grobs is <code>CenteredBarNumber</code> rather than <code>BarNumber</code>.

This example demonstrates a number of settings: the centered bar numbers are boxed and placed below the staves.
