Hi Kieren, Your version did help me enormously. Thank you very much. The whole score is now what it should be. I usually work with separate voices to be collected in the score, but with the extra BC-line I could not get it right. I spent most of this day wondering what the hell the error messa

Hello, I have finally managed to apply your recommendations in my score. On the whole they work out very well except for one error that I have not been able to get rid of: to change the staff name of the upper staff in "cantus". Whatever I tried, it stubbornly kept "bass" for both staves. What

Good morning, Many thanks for your quick reactions and helpful advice. Because it will take me a while to try these solutions in my score, and because at this moment I am in rural France where my internet connection is very buggy and unstable --- in a few minutes I may be disconnected till lat

Robert, it's easier to help you if you provide a Minimal Working Example, otherwise it's hard to know what exactly you tried. Anyway: It's not problem at all to create multiple FiguredBass-environments. The line between them is a bit more tricky; I once used a rhythm staff with all bar lines
