1. I'd like to use a 'medium' font-shape (rather than what looks like boldface) for the figured bass, but I can't work out how to do it. The command
\override FiguredBass.BassFigure #'font-series = #'medium neither gives an error nor does it work. Any suggestions? Better still, I'd like to use the font that I'm using in the rest of the score (Garamond) for the figures, but a command like \override FiguredBass.BassFigure #'font-name = #'"Garamond" only changes the numbers, and loses the accidentals, because, of course, Garamond doesn't contain accidentals! 2. Also, I'd like the figures to be above the staff (which I've worked out how to do), but I'd like them to sit directly above the staff or corresponding note (if it sticks up above the staff), with relatively little white space in between (as it is in the facsimile that I'm typesetting). Playing around with #'minimum-Y-extent doesn't work, and I think I understand why, but how can I do what I'd like? I can do both of these things by using \markup commands instead of Lilypond's figured bass facility, but that's very tedious.
