Here is a way to display a chord where the same note is played twice with different accidentals.
fixA = {
\once \override Stem #'length = #9
\once \override Accidental #'extra-offset = #'(0.3 . 0)
}
fixB = {
\once \override NoteHead #'extra-offset = #'(1.7 . 0)
\once \override Stem #'rotation = #'(45 0 0)
\once \override Stem #'extra-offset = #'(-0.2 . -0.2)
\once \override Stem #'flag-style = #'no-flag
\once \override Accidental #'extra-offset = #'(3.1 . 0)
}
\relative c' {
> s
}
Manually break figured bass extenders for only some numbers
Figured bass often uses extenders to indicate continuation of the corresponding step. However, in
this case lilypond is in greedy-mode and uses extenders whenever possible. To break individual
extenders, one can simply use a modifier \! to a number, which breaks any extender attributed
to that number right before the number.
bassfigures = \figuremode {
\set useBassFigureExtenders = ##t
