Positions of gured bass
Figured bass is automatically organized into rows according to the number of rows required in
each system independently. By default, rows are aligned at the top when below the staff and at
the bottom when above the staff to minimize the gap between gured bass and the staff.
The vertical position of gured bass is determined by the staves above which they are set to
appear and your per-layout setting for their staff-relative placement.
You can move individual gured bass gures to different rhythmic positions in Write mode. They
are automatically positioned to avoid collisions. This includes Dorico Elements’s kerning, which
applies across whole systems to ensure all gures and alterations are legible.
