Re: Bracketing part of a BassFigure

[Richard Shann]

Here is an example of tweaking the example given by Simon:

\figuremode {
\set figuredBassAlterationDirection = #1
\set figuredBassPlusDirection = #1
\override FiguredBass.BassFigure #'font-size = #-1
%figures follow
\set Staff.implicitBassFigures = #'(0)

< \markup {
        \translate #'(-0.6 . 0)
        \right-align
        \bracket { \raise #0.7 { \fontsize #-5 \sharp } }
  \translate #'(-2 . 0)       \tiny \number 6
      } 5 7>4 
}

I created this to suit the 18th c. default - figures above the bass line
- (closer to the solo part you are accompanying), which is the default
in Denemo. You insert this by prefixing with a $ sign in the figured
bass entry box in Denemo.
