Subject: Re: Figured bass and leading note
The current support for figured bass is fairly primitive. However, one feature that's not described in the manual is that you can also include any text strings by enclosing them in double quotes, for example <"+" 7> Unfortunately, I don't see any good support for the +6, since if you use "+6", then the "6" will be typeset in a completely different font than the rest of the figures.
Two alternatives to typeset figured bass without using the FiguredBass context is 1. Use text scripts on each note. Example c_5 d_7_"+" e_\markup{"+" \number 6}_3
2. Typeset the bass figures as a line of lyrics. In contrast to the builtin figured bass support, you can add any \markup{...} in a line of lyrics, which means that you have fairly full freedom to typeset whatever you want.
A disadvantage of the 1. is that the figures will not be vertically aligned.
I don't often work with the source code of LilyPond, but here it turned out to be very easy to add the possibility to use \markup{...} also in figured bass, so I have included this change so it will appear in the next 2.5.xx version and in the coming stable 2.6 version.

I'd like to use a "+" sign for some figured bass. How can I do that ?
For exemple :
------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ 5 7 +6 + 3
The "+" sign means that the leading note is in the chord.
I've tried <3 +6> but this adds to sharp next to the "3" figure.
