Arno,
There were a couple of problems you had with your figured bass.
1. You have to make sure that you use exactly the same rhythm in the
figured bass as in the music -- there were a couple of places where
you didn't do that.
2. To have nothing printed in a figure use a spacer rest, instead of
< _ >.
< _ > is used only to create a space in an existing figure, so it needs
a modifier in order to work (!, +, -, etc.).
I think once I fixed those two things it works properly.

Here's the code:
