The syntax Denemo uses is this

\once \override Staff.BassFigureAlignmentPositioning #'Y-offset = #'7
You could use Staff.BassFigureAlignmentPositioning.Y-offset here –
unless you want to support 2.16 syntax, but other than that there’s no
reason, I think.
I like \markup\transparent 8 better as a solution.
<8>4
Interestingly, with the figures above the notes, following the heights
of the notes (i.e. the 18th c style figures) no override is needed for
this example.
But would be for <9 3> <8> – so that’s a little beside the point.
LilyPond's default style is (as always) late 19th century, when the
figures were only of academic interest, not intended to be used for a
continuo player to create an accompaniment at sight.
Good point, I’ll consider that. My reasoning was that if the figures are
below the Continuo staff in full score, they aid in better visual
separation of the systems. If I were to make a part, I’d put them above
the staff, but the continuo player will play from full score – as they
most often do today – so there will be no need for a part.
Yours, Simon
