Adding a figured bass above or below the notes
When writing a figured bass, you can place the figures above or below the bass notes, by defining
the BassFigureAlignmentPositioning #'direction property (exclusively in a Staff context).
Choices are #UP (or #1), #CENTER (or #0) and #DOWN (or #-1).
This property can be changed as many times as you wish. Use \once \override if you don’t
want the override to apply to the whole score.
