Dear All, Just as I was trying to formulate a request for some additional feature related to Super and Sub I saw Joram's mail, the first of this thread, with which I very much agree.
So maybe I can use this thread to ask for the following: In comments accompanying some scores I feel a need for BC figures, as shown in these screenshot:. (typeset with ConTeXt, Im not sure this feature exists in LaTeX) and Would this be doable in LilyPond ? A sort of unattached Super-Sub couple (and triple) If not, could it somehow be added to its immense reservoir of features? (Preferably with LilyPonds own accidentals and perhaps the BC-font.)
