Figured bass stacking direction default |

In working through the figured bass section of NR as part of the GDP, I've
found something that seems counter-intuitive to me.
When entering a chord, the lowest note comes first, followed by the higher
notes:
<c e g>2.
In the figured bass examples I find on the web, the lowest steps are generally
(perhaps always -- I can't find a counterexample right now) located on the
bottom in figured bass:
6
4
But with the default stacking direction, to get this output you must enter the
figure numbers in reverse order:
<4 6>2 <6 4>
will produce:
4 6
6 4
This behavior can be changed by altering stacking-dir of BassFigureAlignment.
My question: Should the default value of stacking-dir result in
<4 6>
producing
6
4
as I think?
Thanks,
Carl Sorensen
