You are right, this is a missing feature that's high on the
wish list for the figured bass support. It shouldn't be too
implement, mimicing the support for extender lines in lyrics.

As you show, it's possible to do anything with embedded postscript
code. Try "\\embeddedps{0.1 setlinewidth 2 7 moveto 5 1 rlineto stroke}"
to get a more reasonable line width.

However, it might be easier to typeset the figured bass using
ordinary text scripts and use text spanners to draw the lines, see
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.2/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Text-spanners.html#Text%20spanners
Do
\override TextSpanner #'style = #'line
to get a solid line instead of the default dashed line.

Hi list !

I've been visiting the archives to find a trick, but I couldn't find a solution.

I have to insert into my figured bass some thin lines after figures, that indicate 
that the chord is
still running on the note after (am I clear ? ;o))

I've found in the tip and tricks a scheme that could work :

% Generated by lilypond-book
% Options: [printfilename,texidoc,linewidth]
\paper {
    linewidth = 160 \mm
}
\renameinput "embedded-postscript.ly"
\version "2.0.0"
\header {
  texidoc = "@cindex Embedded Postscript
By inserting the @TeX{} command \embeddedps, you can
insert postscript directly into the output.
  "}

\score      {
      \notes
      \relative c''     {
            a-"\\embeddedps{2 7 moveto 5 1 rlineto stroke}"
                  }
      \paper { linewidth = 70 * \staffspace
%     raggedright = ##t
      }

}
 It does print a line from 2 7 to (2 7)+ (5 1). But this line is very thick, and I'de 
like to adapt
this exmeple to thiner lines.

How can I do ?
