maybe thats a solution:
...
continuoFiguren_IX = {
\figuremode {
\set figuredBassAlterationDirection = #RIGHT \set
figuredBassPlusDirection = #RIGHT
s8 | s8 s16. \bassFigureExtendersOn <_>32 <_>8 \bassFigureExtendersOff
| s s <6> | <6 5> s <6> | <6 4> <6> s | <7> s16. \bassFigureExtendersOn
<_>32 <_>8 \bassFigureExtendersOff | s <6 4 3> s
}
}
\book {
\header { }
\score {
\new Staff = "Continuo" {
<<
\bassFigureStaffAlignmentUp
\new Voice {\continuoFiguren_IX}
\new Voice {\clef "bass" \global_IX \compressMMRests \continuo_IX
\bar"|."}
>>
}
}
}
