Re: stacking of figured bass elements

Hi Jean,

Sorry I didn’t respond to this:

Well, yes… and I’ve used that mechanism in my scores. My frustration is that 
we’re already talking about three different parameters — padding, 
staff-padding, and Y-offset — which are used in order to align text above 
staves to their baseline (which is what the hypothetical user is trying to do), 
and they behave differently (inconsistently, not at all, etc.) across different 
grobs.

Am I the only one who sees this situation as sub-optimal?

Thanks,
Kieren.
