Hey Janek, You wouldn't need to touch the engravers. The changes would need to be made in standard-alteration-glyph-name-alist, which is found in output-lib.scm. Just sub in the glyphs you want to use. Note that this will have effects in other parts of the code (chord symbols, for example). To limit your changes to figured bass stuff, check out format-bass-figure in translation-functions.scm. The function alteration->text-accidental-markup is the one that ultimately leads to the accessing of standard-alteration-glyph-name-alist : you'd need to sub this function out with another one for the special figured bass figures.
