I compiled the attachment you posted (Morning Wings (snippet2).ly)
and got an eight measure score with each measure numbered (once).
Perhaps you hadn't commented out the first half-dozen lines under
\score when you compiled it, viz:

  % Move measure numbering to layout section
  % \context PianoStaff \with {
  %    \consists "Bar_number_engraver"
  %    barNumberVisibility = #(every-nth-bar-number-visible 1)
  %    \override BarNumber.break-visibility = #end-of-line-invisible
  %  }

Cheers,
David.
