Réf. : Figured bass questions

[Jean-marc LEGRAND]

(1) I can't figure out how it looks like, just because I have Lily 2.2...

(2) I've used a trick that doesn't have anything to do with figured bass, 
something like :


e2-"\\embeddedps{0.1 setlinewidth 2.5 9 moveto 4 0.5 rlineto stroke}"

which draws a line from the bass note to another point  (warning : lily 2.0 !). 
And it looks exactly
like professional figured bass

(3)

It seems that there were a lot of questions on this subject in the mailling 
list. I haven't tried to
resolve this pb...

Happy new year for everyone !

Hi.

I'm re-posting this one (plus other questions), as I'm not sure it
went through (and the archive search engine is again not working
at the moment: Fri Jan  7 12:31:31 CET 2005).


(1)
I've just installed 2.4.2 because "Regression tests"
(http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.4/input/regression/out-www/lily-347603903.ly)
showed that strings now appear in the output (there was a blank instead
in v2.2.6)

I thought I could use that feature for some missing support in the figured
bass notation.  Namely, the piece sometimes contain a "x" (cross) before
the figure.
I tried

  <"x"4>

but, although the string is "glued" to the digit, it appears in the output
as if there was a space between them (hence the "x" is printed above the "4").

Whereas, with

  <"x4">

the layout is right but the digit is printed with font and size different
from the other figures.
What would be a workaround?


(2)
How to create a thin line (indicating that the chord is sustained throughout
the measure)?
In the archive, a trick with postscript was proposed (which I can't find right
now...); I tried it within the "\figuremode" but it didn't work ("junking
TextScript event"...).  Is there a way to include the incantation in the
vicinity of the figured bass code?


(3)
In an expression like

  <7 _+>

the sharp sign is not aligned vertically with the digit "7" (but slightly too
much to the right, because of the space "_" I assume), which is not very 
aesthetic.
Is it supposed to be so?  Is there some tweak to move it back to the the
appropriate position?


Thanks,
Gilles
