this is what I do with mine : \context Voice \notes { \set Staff.minimumVerticalExtent = #'(0 . 0) to have it very close to the notes. Actually, I've never used it with other figures ! (I use Lily 2.2.5) Good Luck !

Is there an "\override" (for v2.2.6) to make the figured bass numbers closer to the annotated staff? I tried \override FiguredBass.BassFigure #'padding = #-4 but it didn't seem to do anything.
