Thanks.  I was only looking on the test level; I see now that I have
to go down to the regression level.

No.

Neither of these examples are anything like what I had in 1.6, where I
duplicated the bass line and added \figure markups to the notes that
had figures on them.  Han-Wen implies that I can do something like
that if I can guess the right number of angle brackets to use.

Note that both examples have almost all notes the same length, and no
notes without figures.  This is not very much like the actual music
anyone writes figured bass on.  A real-world example, such as I'm
hoping I might get out of convert-ly if I can ever decipher Han-Wen's
workaround would be more useful. 

An explanation of what changed between 1.6 and 2.0 and why might also
be some use.

I was really hoping this sonata would be an easy project, since I'd
already been through the learning curve.  Adding a new learning curve
every 6 months isn't the best route to world domination.
