Figured-Bass Bug Lilypond 2.9.18 on Windows

[Trent Johnston]

Hi,

The figured bass bug I sent earlier on with version 2.9.17 remains the same 
in 2.9.18.

Since I was the sponsor of this feature it would be good if it worked how I 
had originally commissioned it.

Figures were able to placed above rests but in recent versions these are now 
ignored. The figured is excepted (ie. lilypond doesn't complain) but there 
is no figure printed in the output.

I've done some detective work and downloaded again each of the previous 
lilypond versions before 2.9.18. The last lilypond version that the figured 
bass work properly was 2.9.13. In version 2.9.14 the figured bass was not 
working at all. I sent a message to Lilypond User about this version which 
Mats then forwarded this onto Lilypond Bugs 
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2006-08/msg00044.html). 
Version 2.9.15 the figured bass was working again except that figures above 
a rest were ignored.

I hope this helps in tracking down the bug. I have several instrumental 
scores that I would like to now finish and print but can't until this issue 
is solved.

Thanks

Trent
