yeah, I'm giving up somewhat by stuffing a bunch of things in
here. But at least they're in the manual now; it's easier to
notated by cross noteheads. This is demonstrated in
@ref{Special noteheads}.
-Some modern music use cross fingering on c and f to flatten those notes.

Although the support for figured bass may superficially resemble chord
-support, it works much simpler. The @code{\figuremode} mode simply
-stores the numbers and @internalsref{FiguredBass} context prints
-them as entered. There is no conversion to pitches and no
-realizations of the bass are played in the MIDI file.

Internally, the code produces markup texts. You can use any of the
