Figured Bass Widget

The Figured Bass widget displays figured bass from the currently played notes based on the current tonality. Its staff object displays only the lowest note played in the Bass clef, up to a user-defined threshold.

Note

To set the tonality, use the Key Selector from the Toolbar or use the Double Staff MouseWheel shortcuts.

Settings

Show abbreviations

This is the default setting for the Figured Bass widget. When disabled, the complete intervals will be shown - e.g, 6/3 instead of 6 and 6/5/3 instead of 6/5.

For a complete reference on abbreviations and figured bass, we recommend Hans Peter Weber’s Generalbass compendium
