+\subsection{Figured Bass}
+
+For figured-bass notation, use \verb|\musFig{}|.
+The command, as of May 2019 now re-implemented using the \code{stackengine}
+package, takes a single argument which may contain as many space-separated
+elements as you like.
+(The \verb|\musFig| command is implemented with \verb|\musStack{}|, which is
+also used to for \verb|\musMeter|.)
+
+The elements in the argument will be stacked vertically and left-aligned.
+Multiple figures in a row should be enclosed in brackets if there are spaces
+between them.
+
+To align figures when there are empty slots, as in \musFig{6--5
+\noFig[5--]\musSharp}, use \verb|\noFig[]|.
+It will insert horizontal space the
+same width as its optional argument when typeset; the default value is the
+width of the numeral 5.
+It does this using \verb|\hphantom|, so you should supply the same text in the
+argument as the figure with which you want to align.
+The code for the example at the beginning of this paragraph was
+\verb|\musFig{6--5 \noFig[5--]\musSharp}|.
+
+The font may be controlled by redefining \verb|\musFigFont{}|.
+Its default value is as follows:
+\begin{Verbatim}
+\NewDocumentCommand{\musFigFont}{}{%
+ \scriptsize
+ \let\musFontLarge\musFontBig
+}
+\end{Verbatim}
+This reduces the size of numbers and the music font so that they fit better with
+surrounding text and so that numerals and accidentals in the figures match.
