Hello Experts,

if there's a c2 in the bc voice and the figures are "<7>4 <6>", the '7' ends up higher than the '6':

(I'm using 2.20.)

Is there a method of telling Lilypond to align the figures horizontally in the space of, say, a measure? 

Use a BassFigures context, instead of putting the figures in a staff.  The notation reference shows the difference between the two methods.

Had you shown us a tiny example (https://lilypond.org/tiny-examples.html) instead of just the graphical output, I could have rewritten the example to show the output you want.

Thanks,
