LilyPond has support for figured bass, also called thorough bass
or basso continuo:
@lilypond[verbatim,quote,ragged-right,fragment]
\figures {
-<6>
-% FIXME: broken.
- %<6\\>
+ <6>
+ <6\\>
}
@end lilypond

@end lilypond
-@c I have no idea what this means -cds
-@c A predefined command for changing this has been proposed -cds
-@c TODO -- put stacking direction snippet here -cds
-When using figured bass above the staff with extender lines and
-@code{implicitBassFigures} the lines may become swapped around.
-Maintaining order consistently will be impossible when multiple figures
-have overlapping extender lines. To avoid this problem, please
-use @code{stacking-dir} on @code{BassFigureAlignment}.
+When using extender lines, adjacent figures with the same number in
+a different figure location can cause the figure positions to invert.

+To avoid this problem, simply turn on extenders after the figure that
+begins the extender line and turn them off at teh end of the extender line.
