+When writing a figured bass, you can place the figures above or below
+the bass notes, by defining the
+@code{BassFigureAlignmentPositioning.direction} property (exclusively
+in a @code{Staff} context).  Choices are @code{#UP} (or @code{#1}),
+@code{#CENTER} (or @code{#0}) and @code{#DOWN} (or @code{#-1}).
+
+This property can be changed as many times as you wish.  Use
+@code{\\once \\override} if you don't want the override to apply to the
+whole score.
