Hello, I have finally managed to apply your recommendations in my score. On the whole they work out very well except for one error that I have not been able to get rid of: to change the staff name of the upper staff in "cantus". Whatever I tried, it stubbornly kept "bass" for both staves. What am I doing wrong?
The vertical line at the beginning of the figured bass lines does not bother me, but I would like to be able to interrupt the horizontal line between the two BC-variants in sections whre ther is no second set of figures. Would that be possible at all? Here is an ME, sort of: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \version "2.19.80" #(define-markup-command (stack layout props args) (markup-list?)
