Hmm, curiously Denemo gives this as the default, I attach the LilyPond
output from which you can extract the relevant bit. I suspect the reason
is that Denemo generates the figure bass *above* the music bobbing along
with the heights of the notes, which was the normal style for 18th c
prints. LilyPond generates 19th c style figured bass, which is not so
easy to play from (which no longer mattered in the 19th c as it was just
an academic thing by then).
