It's satisfying to see that Eckart has gotten this far into the "guts" of
PMX. But a slight correction: As I mentioned in the crossed posting,
Figu's first argument is the depth (in \internote) of the figure below the
PMX "figure baseline." That baseline is defined by scanning the system for
the lowest of (a) the bottom staff line (b) beams or stems below notes with
figures, and (c) up-stemmed noteheads with figures. Once the baseline is
computed, PMX uses 0, 4, and 8 as vertical offsets from there. The
computation of this baseline was one of the early advanced features I put
into PMX. It has really saved me (and I hope others) a lot of time getting
figures aligned vertically.
