What really happens is that the dynamics increase the vertical space that LilyPond allocates for the stave. Think of it as a rectangle enclosing the stave. A similar virtual rectangle is placed around the figured bass and then these two rectangles are placed edge to edge.
This is described in the section on Vertical spacing (even though in somewhat other words). The text in that section only describes how to increase the vertical spacing, by setting minimumVerticalExtent or extraVerticalExtent. However, if you follow the link to Axis_group_engraver at the bottom of the page, you will also find
the documentation of a property called verticalExtent that you can use to set a fixed height of the "rectangle" around the Staff context. This provides one solution to your problem. /Mats Quoting Trent Johnston <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hello, Just a quick question. I'm currently entering a score with a bass figure line and sometimes on the line there are dynamics. Is there a way to make the dymanic line transparent to the figured bass line so that the figured bass isn't placed underneath the dynamic marks.
