if you take a look what Lilypond 2.19.5 (which is the version I'm using) produces from the following:


\version "2.19.5"

\score {

\new Staff { \clef bass

<<bes4 \figuremode{<4>16 <3>8.}>> }}


you will, I hope, notice that the '3' is rendered quite a bit lower than the '4'. Is there a way I could make the '3' appear exactly on the level of the '4'?

Just use an extra FiguredBass context:

\version "2.19.5"

\score {
  <<
    \new FiguredBass \figuremode { <4>16 <3>8. }
    \new Staff {
      \clef bass
      bes4
    }
  >>
}

If you like, you can replace \new FiguredBass \figuremode by the abbreviation \figures.

For what reason do you use 2.19.5 still? There were many improvements since.

Best, Simon
