When displayed in a FiguredBass context, the vertical location of the figures is independent of the notes on the staff. >>> using \context Staff = bassStaff assigns the figured bass defined in \continuo to the Staff named "bassStaff". In the second snippet, the FiguredBass is created as a distinct context. And will be printed under the bassStaff. If you were to swap the definitions, the figured bass would be printed above the bassStaff. HTH, regards, sb
