+The @code{FiguredBass} context doesn't pay attention to the actual
+bass line. As a consequence, you may have to insert extra figures to
+get extender lines below all notes, eg.
+
+
+@lilypond[verbatim, relative=1]
+<<
+ \new Voice
+ {
+ \clef bass
+ f16. g32 f16. g32 f16. g32 f16. g32
+ }
+ \figures {
+ \set useBassFigureExtenders = ##t
+ <6 4>4. <6 4>16. <6 4>32 <5 3>8 r
+ }

When using continuation lines, common figures are always put in the
same vertical position. When this is unwanted, you can insert a rest
with @code{r}. The rest will clear any previous alignment. For
