It looks like (even in 2.9.10) that figured bass is broken. In addition
to preceeding

the beginning of a line. I tried a number of different figures. Things
seem to break when certain figures precede them.
I will file a bug report for 2.9.10 and mention the possibility of it
being in 2.8.x

Hi Paul and Jean-marc,
The figured bass is working as should be in 2.9.10 and early versions with
slightly less features.
The figured bass figures are aligned so if you have a 6 4 then a 4 3 the
fours get aligned together so the 4 3 becomes 3 4. To get around this put a
spacer between the figures. For example if they are <6 4>8 <4 3>
to get rid of the alignment use instead <6 4>16 s <4 3>8.
It seems to be a little strange to put shorter intervals above longer
ones but I'm sure you know figured bass better than I do. (I have only
just finished my first course in chromatic harmony last week).
This is not a bug but a feature for extender lines.
Perhaps someone could mention this in the documentation before it occurs
now. It didn't occur to me to read that part since I haven't needed
extension lines yet but this feature of course breaks much of what is
written above that.
Thanks for the enlightenment.
While we're on the subject does anyone have need for an expansion of
figured bass to include the ability to (easily) mix in roman numeral
analysis as well?
Paul
