Re: [PATCH] Re: Raised 6th step in figured bass

Looks good to me. Just for clarity, it seems you have a generic
function to draw the line, and a number of exceptions.  Can you show
both (exception vs. default) of them in the test (which should be in
input/regression if it is not already), so we can see where you have
to hardcode the exceptions?

thanks!
