Thanks, Martin - that would be a great suggestion except that the numbers will change depending on the position of the note on the staff, and its surrounds - even including the direction of the stem. Every time the symbol appears it will need to be carefully placed by hand, so to speak, to ensure

Errr... because I don't know enough about Lilypond to distinguish between an override and a tweak. I just happened to have found a Lilypond score (admittedly an old one) which uses overrides to place special symbols next to notes, and I'm doing that because I can see that it works. But if

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

In my attempt to typeset some early 18th century French music for viola da gamba, I'm trying to keep to the original notation as closely as possible. Thus I'm using a breath mark to indicate a trill, and a sans-serif x for a mordent. So for example, I have mx = \markup {\teeny \sans x} But to
