Ah, how very Enlightened of you to point that out. ;-) God forbid that the subject should broaden. Very bad taste indeed! Let us continue to smile the Smile of Reason and confine ourselves to the subject at hand. Continuo. Albeit there was much opportunity for improvisation on the part of the continuo player, there were in fact many "rules" governing continuo, and I don't think it unreasonable to assume that, improvisation notwithstanding, those were the rules they played by.
