Dear Experts,
I would like to have the figures in my figured bass to be engraved above
the staff. This piece of documentation:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/snippets/contexts-and-engravers
says the following:
"When writing a figured bass, you can place the figures above or below the
bass notes, by defining the BassFigureAlignmentPositioning.direction
property (exclusively in a Staff context)."
My problem is that I am not in a Staff context. Based on a previous
suggestion by Carl Sorensen about horizontal alignment of figures (thank
you very much again!) I am now using an explicitly instantiated FiguredBass:
{
\clef bass << { c2 }
\new FiguredBass { \figuremode <7>2 <6-> }}
>>
}
What should I do to position the figures above the staff? Thank you very
much in advance!
Best regards,
Leszek Wroński.
