Dear all,
Is there a neat way to insert a stack of three figures in a line of text with
the middle one sitting on the base line?
I need it in a discussion of figured bass. (Figured bass is a system to
indicate harmonies to be played above a bass-line. The figures can be single or
stacked, two or three above each other. In discussing this topic in articles
and books these "figures" are usually written as they appear in the music
scores, in other words, stacked.)
For a stack of two figures it can be done perfectly with \lohi{}{}.
Is there a way to do it for a stack of three figures with the middle one
sitting on the base line? (Something like \lomihi{}{}{}?)
Here is an example in which the problem is stated once more.

This does not look professional.
A typical problematic example of this printing practice is Monteverdi's {\em
L'Orfeo}, where, in the third act, in Speranze's recitative {\em Ecco l'atra
palude}, several single fourths are printed, leaving for the continuo player
the choice to play 5/4, 6/4, or 7/4/2.

This does, for \lohi{4}{5} and \lohi{4}{6}. But how could this be done also
for 7/4/2? (Interline distance may be enlarged as necessary.)
