----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Scott" <address@hidden>It seems to be a little strange to put shorter intervals above longer ones but I'm sure you know figured bass better than I do. (I have only just finished my first course in chromatic harmony last week).It looks like (even in 2.9.10) that figured bass is broken. In addition to preceeding < 7 _- > with < 6 > you can also get < 7 _- > to work by putting it at the beginning of a line. I tried a number of different figures. Things seem to break when certain figures precede them. I will file a bug report for 2.9.10 and mention the possibility of it being in 2.8.x Paul ScottHi Paul and Jean-marc, The figured bass is working as should be in 2.9.10 and early versions with slightly less features. The figured bass figures are aligned so if you have a 6 4 then a 4 3 the fours get aligned together so the 4 3 becomes 3 4. To get around this put a spacer between the figures. For example if they are <6 4>8 <4 3> to get rid of the alignment use instead <6 4>16 s <4 3>8.
Perhaps someone could mention this in the documentation before it occurs now. It didn't occur to me to read that part since I haven't needed extension lines yet but this feature of course breaks much of what is written above that.This is not a bug but a feature for extender lines.
Thanks for the enlightenment.While we're on the subject does anyone have need for an expansion of figured bass to include the ability to (easily) mix in roman numeral analysis as well?
