Hi Richard, when I tried that implicitBassFigures declaration, it just printed a zero. But! If I drop the "Staff." part of that declaration, then it works. I'm not sure if that's going to have consequences later on, but I'll try it and see how it goes.
Now I have another matter, somewhat more OCD: when dealing with the figures: < 4 2 7 >4 < _+ 0\! 8 > the # sign is set slightly lower than the 4, and thus the 8 is set lower than the 7. That is, they don't appear to have the same baseline, and it looks like bad typesetting. Is there a way to fix this so they align perfectly?
