Ah, you are talking about the accidentals!
Yes, I totally agree with you! Just a few days ago, while proofreading some
scores I recently wrote, I was thinking exactly the same and I really had
problems distinguishing the # and naturals!
Han-Wen seems to agree to some extent, since in commit
2caf4b6c15f4e94357fadd913777fb75b3458c61 (2005-11-25 19:20:05) he enlarged the
double-sharp with the message:
* scm/translation-functions.scm (format-bass-figure): make double
sharp larger.
The smaller size of the accidentals were introduced in commit
220365d152ed25083f94e4ddc5118bcd01b12eaa (2005-10-06 15:12:56) with no useful
commit message:
(AncientRemoveEmptyStaffContext): switch on
New_figured_bass_engraver by default.

Unless there is any good reason, I would propose to completely remove the
fontsize -2 from the accidentals in figured bass. They are much more readable
and look much more like the accidentals in old hand-engravings I have at home
(actually, there the numbers are a bit smaller, but the accidentals are even
larger than the numbers!).
I've uploaded a patch to the codereview page:
http://codereview.appspot.com/74056
Okay to apply this patch to master?
Cheers,
Reinhold
