Hi. I'm re-posting this one (plus other questions), as I'm not sure it went through (and the archive search engine is again not working at the moment: Fri Jan 7 12:31:31 CET 2005).
(1) I've just installed 2.4.2 because "Regression tests" (http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.4/input/regression/out-www/lily-347603903.ly) showed that strings now appear in the output (there was a blank instead in v2.2.6) I thought I could use that feature for some missing support in the figured bass notation. Namely, the piece sometimes contain a "x" (cross) before the figure. I tried <"x"4> but, although the string is "glued" to the digit, it appears in the output as if there was a space between them (hence the "x" is printed above the "4"). Whereas, with <"x4"> the layout is right but the digit is printed with font and size different from the other figures. What would be a workaround? (2) How to create a thin line (indicating that the chord is sustained throughout the measure)? In the archive, a trick with postscript was proposed (which I can't find right now...); I tried it within the "\figuremode" but it didn't work ("junking TextScript event"...). Is there a way to include the incantation in the vicinity of the figured bass code? (3) In an expression like <7 _+> the sharp sign is not aligned vertically with the digit "7" (but slightly too much to the right, because of the space "_" I assume), which is not very aesthetic. Is it supposed to be so? Is there some tweak to move it back to the the appropriate position?
