Figured Bass: Position of Chords

[grisu_76]

Hi!

I have the following problem:

in figured bass sometimes the position of the cord-tones is given with a "^"
over the number:

"carat"-3 for the third to be played as the highest tone 
"carat"-5 for the fifth to be played as the highest tone
"carat"-8 for the octave to be played as the highest tone

I built a workaround for my piece:

\version "2.12.2"
<< 
  \new Staff{ 
        \clef "bass" 
        \relative c{ 
                c c c
         }      
  } 
                  
  \new FiguredBass { 
     \figuremode{ 
        \bassFigureStaffAlignmentDown 
                
  <\markup{ \tiny{\combine  \vcenter \center-align \number 3  \super
\vcenter \center-align "^"}}>4
  <\markup{ \tiny{\combine  \vcenter \center-align \number 5  \super
\vcenter \center-align "^"}}>4
  <\markup{ \tiny{\combine  \vcenter \center-align \number 8  \super
\vcenter \center-align "^"}}>4
        } 
  }

Comments ans suggestions welcome!
Cheers, Christian
