Scores of large ensemble works often have bar numbers placed beneath the
system, centered horizontally on the measure's extent.  This snippet shows
how the @code{Measure_counter_engraver} may be used to simulate this
notational practice.  Here, the engraver has been added to a @code{Dynamics}
context.
