In the middle of the section of the NR concerning ancient music, there
is
this:
Figured bass support
There is limited support for figured bass notation from the Baroque
period;
see Section 2.7.3
[Figured bass], page 393.
I would have thought the current level of support is fair to good, so
can't
see why it's described as limited. I'm also somewhat unsure why
Figured
bass is referred to in the section on Ancient music, when it's got a
section
all to itself. Should I delete it?
I'd prefer to see just the word "limited" deleted so the cross-reference
from
Ancient to Chord notation is retained, but I don't feel strongly about
it.
I considered that, but figured bass is really a baroque notation, from
1600-odd to 1750 ish; ancient is medieval and renaissance: a different
period.
OK, I agree then.
