Figured bassLilyPond has limited support for figured bass: < \context FiguredBass \figures { <_! 3+ 5- >4 < [4 6] 8 > } \context Voice { c4 g8 } > The support for figured bass consists of two parts: there is an input
mode, introduced by that takes care of making BassFigure objects. In figures input mode, a group of bass figures is delimited by
<4 6> Accidentals are added to the numbers if you alterate them by
appending <4- 6+ 7!> Spaces or dashes may be inserted by using < [4 6] 8 [_ 12]> Although the support for figured bass may superficially resemble chord support, it works much simpler: in figured bass simply stores the numbers, and then prints the numbers you entered. There is no conversion to pitches, and no realizations of the bass are played in the MIDI file. |
