I just tried this with the Sibelius demo: I entered a whole note in 4/4
time and started adding figured bass. The figures are automatically
placed on the four beats of the whole note, unless I use the Space bar
to jump a beat. I couldn't work out (with a 5 minute time limit) how to
get a figure between two beats.

Then you type in the figures, using Return to put one figure under
another or Space to move to the next note. When I tried typing
letters, I got things like a figure in brackets or a figure with a
natural after it: there are evidently a load of keyboard shortcuts to
learn here, but the basic function seems simple and obvious: it took
me less than 5 minutes to find it, although I don't know Sibelius.
Sounds good - at least much better than Finale. And it seems to be a
genuine figured bass tool, which is what we are asking for. Can you
put figures at a given position between two bass notes, e.g. on the
four beats of a whole note?
