Figured Bass
Hello.
I think it would be great for Musescore to support Figured Bass (even the accidentals)

obviously. It's a must for any "serious" music editor. It's also a huge job, especially if you try to cope with all the variants.
I made once a "fake" one for the commercial software "Pizzicato" , only using attaching numbers to a note.....
In fact one can do that with musescore "as it is", by using the staff text menu to type the requested number figures.

Yes, but I think it should be a bit more difficult, because of the "special" numbers (for example, for the diminished fifth, the augmented sixth, etc.). Lilypond has a Figured Bass mode..perhaps could be implemented in musescore something like that?
There have been some experiments using lyrics. See : http://musescore.org/en/node/3168

That's great, really, but it would be very nice to be implemented from a menu o something like that :)
As noted in the other post linked before (//musescore.org/en/node/3168 ), additional glyphs are the 'easy part', the elements which cannot be achieved with the existing code (mainly Ctrl-K) are:
* proper prolongation lines
* correct vertical alignment of compound figures
* several chords for the same bass line.
In the above mentioned post, I have outlined the features I think necessary for a proper implementation of the figured bass. I really hope it will get implemented sooner or later.
Thanks,
