Hi,

when looking at this snippet: http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Snippet?id=292
I have the following question:

Why is \context Staff allowed here? How can I fill bass figures in a Staff?

I thought I need a \new FiguredBass context for the \continuo. This
works indeed (%2) but I loose the ability to change the alignment direction.

Is that a general thing (for Lyrics, ChordNames)?
What is the recommended layout? \new FiguredBass or \context Staff?

Thanks
Joram


Here is the snippet for comparison:

\version "2.18.0"

bass = { \clef bass g4 b, c d e d8 c d2 }

continuo = \figuremode {
  \set Score.useBassFigureExtenders = ##t
  <_>4 <6>4 <5/>4
  \override Staff.BassFigureAlignmentPositioning #'direction = #UP
  < _+ >4 <6>
  \override Staff.BassFigureAlignmentPositioning #'direction = #DOWN
  <4>4. <4>8 <_+>4
}

% 1
<<
  \new Staff = bassStaff \bass
  \context Staff = bassStaff \continuo
>>

% 2
<<
  \new Staff = bassStaff \bass
  \new FiguredBass \continuo
>>
