Properly aligning accidentals with figured bass figures

Hi all,

I'm brand new to LilyPond, but I'm already enjoying 
myself tremendously by trying to out all its 
features and properties.

My question concerns tweaking
 the figured bass notation. I thought the 
default font used was too 
heavy and didn't mix well with my lyrics 
font (Baskerville), so I changed the 
figured bass font to 
Baskerville Bold, like this: 

  \context { \FiguredBass    
    \override BassFigure #'font-size = #2
\override BassFigure #'font-name =
#'"Baskerville Bold"

   }

This works like a charm, except 
(and here's my problem) that 
any accidentals placed beside the 
figures aren't properly aligned with 
the figures themselves anymore. 
They are too high up. This 
causes an ugly gap between, 
for example, 7 and 5 in a 9-7-5# chord.

Is there any way I can tweak 
the baseline for just the accidentals? 
(Preferably without having to 
specify tons of stuff for every single 
individual chord.)

I'd be most grateful if someone could 
help me with this. Thanks for reading, 
and have a wonderful day!

Best wishes,
Kim Fierens
