Yes, that's a valid feature request in my eyes (actually, I'll need them too for my own editions). > For example the slashed 6 where the slash is only in the upper part The slashed 6 in your example is apparently a very old variation.

Basically, a complete set of slashed digits that I encountered so far are: 2+ with the vertical slash through the extended horizontal line of the 2 4+ with the vertical slash through the extended horizontal line of the 4 5+ with the vertical slash through the extended horizontal line of the 5 6+ with the slash diagonally (left top to right bottom through the upper curve of the 6 See also: http://www.robertkelleyphd.com/FiguredBass.pdf Note, however, that these slashed 6 digits were used mainly only in hand- written scores and in modern printed scores. Many printed scores of the 19th centuries have the slashes for the 6 like lilypond. See e.g. page 8 of Mozart's Benedictus sit Deus, Alte Mozart Ausgabe (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozarts Werke, Serie III: Kleinere geistliche Gesangwerke. Leipzig: Breitkopf & Härtel, 1880. Plate W.A.M. 117.): http://216.129.110.22/files/imglnks/usimg/5/53/IMSLP78470-PMLP158784- Mozart_Werke_Breitkopf_Serie_03_KV117.pdf (The 4+ is printed as described above, see e.g. p.13) On the other hand, some printed scores of the 19th century have the slashes as you suggest them E.g. line 2 measure 4, or line 6 measure 1 of: http://imslp.info/files/imglnks/usimg/e/ef/IMSLP32559-PMLP74139- Eybler_Graduale_DiesSanctificatus_HV61_Org.pdf I have encountered the 5+ only once: http://216.129.110.22/files/imglnks/usimg/0/0b/IMSLP32525-PMLP74102- Eybler_SperateInDeo_Org.pdf > Anyone created such a set? If not, how can I do it on my own? (Publishers > will) No, but it would be great to have it.
