Hi Hans, I just tested this for the figured bass symbols in my text. It is perfect.
And it has at least one important advantage over the plain-TeX method, kindly offered by Michael Rogers, in that it uses the same font as that for he main text, which, in my case, will be probably a sans-serif font. The plain TeX solution, as far as I could see, uses only the serif version of LM, so it would haven given me serif-like figured bass symbols in an otherwise sans-serif document.
Thank you very much.
Kind regards, Robert
Consider also creating the figured bass (or any musical notation) in the shareware package Mup. The output is a ps file. Then the notation and any accompanying verse can be treated as a graphic import. There are horses for courses. For music I always use MUP. -- John Culleton Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html Police Procedural and Expose: "Death Wore Black" "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
