Re: Figured Bass question: Why is <5 4> upside down?

[Trent Johnston]

Hi Graham,

I don't think these are bugs as such. It's got to do aligning the extender 
line. If you place a spacer (s8 etc)  between the figures the figures are 
printed the right way.

as in the example below taken from Issue 103: if you reduce the length of 
the figure to 8 and put a 's' between (ie. a 8 space) the figures print 
correctly.

is sent a reply to the Lilypond user list a while ago with a solution to 
this problem.
