[SOLVED] More option comment numbering on Byline.

Good morning and congratulations for the great theme.
In wp-includes (comment-templates.php) I changed the original function comments_number in order to have a fifth option ($ zero = false, $ one = false, $ less = false, $ more = false, $ deprecated = '').
The code works fine on the pages of posts.
What I ask is: how do I implement the same function to have the vision of the counts even in the setting of the byline?.
I use Ata 3.7.10 and wp 3.5.1
Thanks
