I forward these questions to the developers list, reformulated into the following question: Why isn't it allowed to include a text markup in figured bass? I think such an obvious feature would handle all the problems described below.

Yes, in 2.2, the strings were rendered as... blank space! Now they print out, but I can't figure out how to change their look. [There is a section in the manual about font for numbers but no actual example.]
(2) I've used a trick that doesn't have anything to do with figured bass, something like :
e2-"\\embeddedps{0.1 setlinewidth 2.5 9 moveto 4 0.5 rlineto stroke}"
which draws a line from the bass note to another point (warning : lily 2.0 !). And it looks exactly like professional figured bass
I would use it in the meantime [will the line be supported any time soon?], but I was wondering whether that "ugly" trick could be confined to the "figured bass" section of the code. I.e. I've defined a variable:
figuresLowerLH = \figuremode { <4>2 <3>4 | <9 _+>4 <8>2 | <7 _+>4 s <6 5> | % etc. }
How to add the markup within that section?
(3)
It seems that there were a lot of questions on this subject in the mailling list. I haven't tried to resolve this pb...
Would it be extremely difficult to modify the LilyPond code to make it so that a blank space, if alone, doesn't actually take horizontal space?
Best, Gilles
