A quite commonly used notation for augmented steps is to draw a line through the eventually elongated last line of the digit. In this case "Last line" refers to the order the digit is written manually. This results in a typographic ligature of the digit together with a plus sign. In case of the augmented sixth the result should be like the following example http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Altsext.gif&filetimestamp=20090401171647 This is better readable then the result of the following snippet \version "2.12.3" \figures { < 6\\ >4 } Similar should be possible together with the figures 2,4,5. Here the resulting plus sign isn't rotated but its is lowered or highered with respect to the result of \version "2.12.3" \figures { \set figuredBassPlusDirection = #RIGHT < 5\+ 4\+ 2\+ >4 } A poor graphical representation is given in http://www.robertkelleyphd.com/FiguredBass.pdf where the vertical position is o.k., but it's not really a ligature. It is quite obvious that the result may be depending on the font used for the digits. A possible notation might be to use the \+ modifier and switch between the current and the intended behaviour with a property (e.g. \set figuredBassPlusLigature = #TRUE) Regards Reinhard _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
