Re: Figured Bass: Position of Chords

[grisu_76]

Sorry to all, I just realised, that the paragraph with the problem was
gone...
here we go:

If I use my workaround, the vertical alignment does not fit with the
'regular' fgured bass symbols, it is printed a little lower; for the current
problem it does not matter, but I suggest to add the 'carat' as as default
symbol available in figured bass mode.

cheers, christian
