I think an approach in LilyPond/Scheme would be nice (take a look at GOOPS whether it could help with abstracting the stuff into classes). The main advantage is that you can let it do figured bass on-the-fly, and also work with \displayLilyMusic for getting back a pondable representation. > Would someone on this list be interested > • to use such a tool if someone implemented it? I don't think I usually have numbered bass material here. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
