Dear Experts, I would like to have the figures in my figured bass to be engraved above the staff. This piece of documentation: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/snippets/contexts-and-engravers says the following:
"When writing a figured bass, you can place the figures above or below the bass notes, by defining the BassFigureAlignmentPositioning.direction property (exclusively in a Staff context)." My problem is that I am not in a Staff context. Based on a previous suggestion by Carl Sorensen about horizontal alignment of figures (thank you very much again!) I am now using an explicitly instantiated FiguredBass: { \clef bass << { c2 } \new FiguredBass { \figuremode <7>2 <6-> }} >> } What should I do to position the figures above the staff? Thank you very much in advance! Best regards, Leszek Wroński.
