Dear Robert, I don't know this notation. So my advice is probably not the best solution.
> Entering FiguredBass1 and FiguredBass2 did not give me anything but > error messages You mean \new FiguredBass1 ? You cannot just invent context names. But you can stack several contexts of the same type. Here is one example that at least comes close: \version "2.19.80" << \new Staff { \clef bass \key d \minor \time 4/2 d1 2 a bes1 f a2 d a,1 } \new FiguredBass \with { \override BassFigure.extra-offset = #'(0 . -3.5) } \figuremode { s1 s <5>2 <6> <6>1 s <_+> } \new RhythmicStaff \new FiguredBass \figuremode { s1 s2 s <6> s2 s1 s s } >> \layout { \context { \RhythmicStaff instrumentName = \markup \right-column { "Pretonal" "Tonal" } \omit BarLine \omit TimeSignature } } Of course, the following would be much simpler and you could try to draw a line by hand (\markup or so): << \new Staff { \clef bass \key d \minor \time 4/2 d1 2 a bes1 f a2 d a,1 } \new FiguredBass \figuremode { s1 s <5 6>2 <6> <6>1 s <_+> } >> Cheers, Joram _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
