Re: Override start of figured bass continuation line

[Jon Arnold]

Here's an example:

\version "2.22.1"

\score {
  \new Staff {
    {
      <<
        {f''8 e'' d'' c'' b'2 |
         f''8 e'' d'' c'' b'2 }
        \new FiguredBass {
          \figuremode {  
          \bassFigureExtendersOn
          <[_!]>8 <_!> <_>8 q8 s2 |
          <[_!]>8 <_!> s16 <_> q8
          }
        }
      >>
    }
  }
}

I would like the note-spacing of the first bar combined with the continuation line of the second (or maybe something in between). I do not want the note spacing of the second measure.

Hi folks-

I have some figured bass continuation lines like this:

\set Staff.implicitBassFigures = #'(99)
\bassFigureExtendersOn
<99> q8

My teacher is asking me to move the start of it over to the right (but not move the end of it). How can I do this with an override? I know I can do:

s16 <99> q8

but this affects note spacing in a conspicuous way that I don't like (see attached image).

What's the property to override to increase the start of the line in X direction.

Please provide a (short) compilable LilyPond source - for example one that generates the image you attached. It's harder to help if one has to reconstruct a possible input situation first.
