I haven't searched the internals. I've just looked at the results
of my code. Right now, I believe that a Lyrics context is aligned
close to the staff above it.

Figured bass can be either above or below a staff (I have seen archival
sources with both alignments). So I guess it should be quite similar to
Lyrics (although I don't think it currently is.
Probably the best way to get figured bass located properly to a staff is
to add it to a staff, rather than having its own context. You can read
about this in the GDP docs NR 2.7.3.3, available at

Stuff like this that is talking about changing the internals code should
be copied to the lilypond-devel list, as well. You may get better
response over there.
Thanks,
