Re: Figured bass switches direction!

[Trent Johnston]

Hi Gilles,

Just put a space (s) between the figures.

ie.

<6>8 s <6 5/>4 <_-> |
<6 _->4 <6 5/>8 s <5> |

It only needs to be done when like figures occur in different positions. 
i.e. <6> <6 5>  The first 6 is in second position when compare with the 
following 6 in first position followed by 5. Putting the space (s) between 
the figures cancels the alignments.

| Hello.
|
| In the following code, the figure direction switches: In the second bar
| the flat is printed above the 6, and the "6 5" is printed "5 6"!
|
| %---
| \version "2.8.7"
|
| <<
|  \relative c' {
|    \time 3/4
|    \clef F
|    \key c \major
|
|    a4 e f |
|    f4 c d |
|  }
|
|  \new FiguredBass {
|    \figuremode {
|      <6>4 <6 5/> <_-> |
|      <6 _->4 <6 5/> <5> |
|    }
|  }

| I guess that LilyPond is aligning identical numbers but this is rather
| confusing.  Is there a way so that the numbers are always printed in input

|
| Thanks.
