Element: figured-bass [group music-data]
Description
The figured-bass element represents figured bass notation. Figured bass elements take their position from the first regular note (not a grace note or chord note) that follows in score order. The optional duration element is used to indicate changes of figures under a note.
Figures are ordered from top to bottom. The value of parentheses is "no" if not present.
