I find it faster to use voices, as you only need to activate this
feature when you need it, specifically, when you want to indicate
changing harmonies under a long note. When I'm entering a figured
bass with Ansgar's font, one key combination switches from lyrics to
speedy entry, one click changes to voice two, a couple of taps on the
numeric keyboard to enter the right size of rests, a couple of back-
arrows coupled with the "O" key to hide the rests, a key combination
back to lyrics and you're set to enter the figures! And one more
thing. I know some people (usually librarians) like to complain that
the numerals in this font don't look like the figures from some of
the established publishing houses (Baerenreiter comes to mind). The
musicians I have worked with however tend to like them and find them
much easier to read than those miniscules in, say, the NBA (the
edition, not the athletic association!).

I use layer 2 to enter extra rests (notes, actually, until I realized
you could put lyrics under rests!), and then hide them all in one go
with. Is it easier with voices than with layers?
