You are right, the markup should probably be
\markup {\tiny \number 6 \super (1) }
instead of
\markup {\number 6 \super (1) }

I didn't manage to decipher exactly how the font size setting is done for the normal bass figures, but using \tiny or \small for the markup seems to give a size that better matches the rest of the
figures.

Valentine, can you change the snippet?

Difficult modern concepts are much easier in Lilypond than the others, e.g.

   figured bass:

Just out of curiosity (I don't know anything about figures bass)... :-)

Is the number 6 on the second beat of the 4th (second last) measure
really meant to be larger than the rest of the numbers? Or is it just
the \markup that makes it bigger by default if the size isn't
specified?
