In the middle of the section of the NR concerning ancient music, there is
this:
Figured bass support
There is limited support for figured bass notation from the Baroque
period; see Section 2.7.3
[Figured bass], page 393.
I would have thought the current level of support is fair to good, so
can't see why it's described as limited. I'm also somewhat unsure why
Figured bass is referred to in the section on Ancient music, when it's got
a section all to itself. Should I delete it?

That section needs an overhaul.
I didn't (still don't know) Ancient notation well enough to do much more
than layout/section changes. But that would be a start.
I'd go for a patch and assign it to this tracker.
Maybe 2013 is the year of the Ancient Music Chapter!
