Do you mean bar numbers? If so, you can find the relevant snippet in two
places:

Printing bar numbers at regular intervals (LilyPond snippets)
<https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.27/Documentation/snippets/rhythms-_002d-printing-bar-numbers-at-regular-intervals>

Printing bar numbers at regular intervals - LilyPond wiki
