Figured bass continuation lines
Hello,
Is it normal that "extended continuation lines" are not perfectly continuous, and that they do not all have the same thickness and definition (attached example in 300 ppp) ?
Many thanks in adance,
P.

I'm not a figured bass expert, but I can guess that all those invisible notes are confusing things. I don't see that they serve a purpose. What happens if you remove then and just enter the figured bass normally / directly?

Without the invisible repeated notes it would be impossible to write a second set of figures on the 2nd beat below the same note. Another option would be to add the figures in between the two staves, attaching them to lowest voice of the highest staff, and then mving them below the bass. But that doesn't fix the line problem...

it is easily possible, take a look at the handbook

Indeed, figured bass, like chord symbols and RNA, is designed to allow mid-measure symbols just fine, and in fact the method for doing so is key to how to continuation lines work. Again, I'm not an expert, but I suspect entering what you want correctly as shown in the Handbook would be more likely to work.
