Hi all, there's a method of harmonic analysis (»Bassstufen« in German) that works by having numbers in a main layer plus option bass figures on top. There are at least two flavours or this analysis markup: the original one from the 18th century with bare numbers for the bass steps, and at least one modern variant with additional markup. Attached you'll find one example.
For a proper handling I need to combine this into *one* command (the example was created with separate Lyrics and BassFigures contexts). Is there a way to add arbitrary markup to bass figures or to add bass figures to markup (maybe the easier way round)? Of course I know how to add the music font numbers to a markup, but it would be nice (and less error-prone) not having to reimplement LilyPond's bass figure typesetting. Has anyone done that already? Thoughts? Best Urs
