This question refers to version 2.8.3 running on Ubuntu Linux 6.06. I think it was posted during one of our mailing list vacations, and may have never made it out to the list.
I just tested, and the problem also occurs on 2.9.19.
For most figures, lily prints the numbers in the order I enter them, so <7 5> prints with a seven above a five. But when I enter <5 4>, for some reason lily prints it with the four above the five. The facsimile I'm transcribing has it the other way (with the five above the four), and while I'm not much of a keyboard player, I would expect even an experienced continuo player to be confused by this inconsistency. The attached file demonstrates the phenomenon -- is it a bug, or a feature that I don't understand?
