OK, I answer my own question.

I use Lily 1.8 for this, sorry for not mentioning

(1) set alignment to top:
   \property FiguredBass . BassFigure \set #'self-alignment-Y = #'1
(2) improve text size:
   \property FiguredBass . BassFigure \set #'font-relative-size = #'-2
(3) tweak default offset:
   \property FiguredBass . BassFigure \set #'extra-offset = #'( 0 . 6 )
(4) tweak individual offsets:
   \property FiguredBass . BassFigure \override #'extra-offset = #'( 0 . -2 )
   and
   \property FiguredBass . BassFigure \revert #'extra-offset

Enclose the default from 1.8 in a (only slightly contrived) example,
and the tweaked according to the above.

Thanks,

Rutger

Hi list,

how can I achieve better vertical alignment of figured
bass figures? See example.
My preference is between:

a) the top of the stack of figures is at some fixed distance
  below the lowest note in this *bar*
or
b) the top of the stack of figures is at some fixed distance
  below the lowest note in this *staff*.

In all cases, I would prefer the alignment to be "top" i.s.o.
"bottom".

Any tips? I tried:

\property FiguredBass . TextScript \override #'self-alignment-Y = #'-1

but to no avail.

Thanks,

Rutger
