Hi all,

I am currently working on some huge figured bass projects and there's
something truely annoying and quite unnatural:
when using \bassFigureExtendersOn, we need to tell LilyPond when we don't
want an extender (by adding \! to the number) instead of telling when we
want one.
I'm making a lot of errors because of this :( .

This should behave like the lyric extenders. With a similar syntax. I know
that it's more tricky because we have parallel figures. Maybe a tilde would
be better since "_" is used for the empty figure and tilde already exists in
chords.
Something like this:

\figuremode{
<6+ 4 3>4 <4> <_+> <_!>2 <6>4 <6> <5>2*~* <5>4 <5 3*~*>2 <6 3>4
}

We could get rid of figuredBassCenterContinuations too: <5~ 3~> <5 3> would
mean two extenders while <5 3>~ <5 3> means one.

Regards,
Bertrand
