Re: Vertical alignment of Figured Bass?

[Rutger Hofman]

OK, I answer my own question.

I use Lily 1.8 for this, sorry for not mentioning

(1) set alignment to top:
   \property FiguredBass . BassFigure \set #'self-alignment-Y = #'1
(2) improve text size:
   \property FiguredBass . BassFigure \set #'font-relative-size = #'-2
(3) tweak default offset:
   \property FiguredBass . BassFigure \set #'extra-offset = #'( 0 . 6 )
(4) tweak individual offsets:
   \property FiguredBass . BassFigure \override #'extra-offset = #'( 0 . -2 )
   and
   \property FiguredBass . BassFigure \revert #'extra-offset

Enclose the default from 1.8 in a (only slightly contrived) example,
and the tweaked according to the above.

Thanks,

Rutger
