Now I understand how your file is supposed to work!
I attach a version modified to version 2.2. To be able to run convert-ly
on it, I first replaced all occurencies of '{<' to some dummy like '{#'
and similarly I replaced '>}' with '&}'. After the conversion, I could
then change back from '{ #' to '{ <' and from '& }' to '> }'.
The only other thing I had to update was the text markup with the title,
see the attached file./Mats

No, it didn't typeset the music, but it ignored it except for the lengths. So once you had the bass line entered, you just found the notes with the figures on them and added them.

But then you have to tell it (again) what the lengths of the notes between the figures are. And proofread that again.

If that's what the input/test/figured-bass-alternate.ly example is doing, I tried it and wasn't able to get it to work. That is, the example file works, and as long as I'm only adding one figure to a note, it works in my file, but when I try to add two figures, like this:
f_\markup { \column <6 5>}
lily tells me:
Now processing: `testfigures-markup.ly' Parsing... /home/lconrad/music/telemann/solo5/testfigures-markup.ly:24:30: error: syntax error, unexpected STRING, expecting '<': f_\markup { \column < 6 5>}
/home/lconrad/music/telemann/solo5/testfigures-markup.ly:24:33: error: Have to be in Lyric mode for lyrics: f_\markup { \column <6 5 >}
/home/lconrad/music/telemann/solo5/testfigures-markup.ly:24:34: error: syntax error, unexpected '}':
}
I'm attaching the test file. Obviously I have the syntax wrong, but it looks to me like what the example's doing.
