Hmm.  In the recitativo, if the symbol in the lower red box is a 7, we
have G major 7th chord immediately followed by an D major 6th chord,
something not possible at that time, or at least very, very strange,
probably reserved for special situations only.

On the other hand, it *might* represent a 7th chord in the symphony –
at least it is harmonically possible, in particular the one that has a
natural right before it.  To verify, however, we indeed need other
voices to check this more carefully.

I guess you meant to write "there are seventh chords as well as 1/8th
note rests"?
Unfortunately the scans you provided don't give (much?) evidence of
seventh chords distinguishable from "1/8th" rests, and all the places
where the "1/8th rest" occurs sound like places where a seventh chord
might be found - difficult to say without seeing what the other parts
are doing at those points in the music.
My guess, based admittedly on partial evidence, is that these are in
fact intended as indications of a seventh chord, not some sort of Tasto
Solo indication or ... After all, a player of the period would have had
as much difficulty distinguishing that symbol from a 7 as we have after
studying the handwriting style.

Hi, 
it is from Joseph Umstatt - early classic. The manuscript not digitized 
and it is from one monastary collection - I can't publish it all. Rather - 
if I manage to finish it, the whole score will be published in Juny for 
free (maybe IMSLP too). 

There are seventh as well as 1/8th note rests. 

The first example is the second part of the symphony and the second one is 
the end of recitative 1 (alto) and start recitative 2 (canto).

http://www.imgup.cz/image/gfW

Can I add only any "symbol" (here symbol of  1/8th note rest)?

Very interesting.  And you are sure this is a rest?  Can you give more
information on the composer and the piece?  Is the original manuscript
available online?

It seems that you've found something not covered with our figured bass
notation, and we have to extend Lilypond to support it easily.

but is he right? Are those apparent 1/8th note rests actually 7, meaning
a seventh? Only more context would allow more certainty (and a plausible
explanation of what it might mean to place a rest above another figure -
e.g. to indicate what are nowadays called power chords).
Is the score you have gotten these examples from on IMSLP? Or can you
upload it?

Never seen this before.  Please post a scan of what you want to
