The next beta has:

\definelow [MyLow] [style=\txx] \definehigh [MyHigh] [style=\txx] \definelowhigh [MyLoHi] [style=\txx] \definelowmidhigh[MyLoMiHi][style=\txx]

We have \ruledhbox{\low {L}} and \ruledhbox{\MyLow {L}} and \ruledhbox{\high {H}} and \ruledhbox{\MyHigh {H}} and \ruledhbox{\lohi {L}{H}} and \ruledhbox{\MyLoHi {L}{H}} and \ruledhbox{\lomihi{L}{M}{H}} and \ruledhbox{\MyLoMiHi{L}{M}{H}}.

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,...

It uses the math font, which is worse. I should have wrapped the arguments with \hbox and thrown in a \tx or \txx. Or waited a little longer for the good solution. :) Best, Michael ________________________________ This e-mail message (including any attachments) is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
