I didn't get a response to this email, but I stumbled across this the
presence of these glyphs
fattened.four
fattened.four.alt
at
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/the-emmentaler-font#figured-bass-symbol-glyphs
and it would seem that the change to figured bass going to version 2.24
is to switch to using the alt versions of the glyphs.
Is anyone able to help me get control of the choice of glyph armed with
this information?
