Thoroughbass entry

New Dorico user since 3 weeks (former Finale for 35 years). What a fantastic program! I like it, although I’m still horrendously slow, but it will be fine.

Just one thing I really don’t like… I work as an editor of 18th-c thoroughbass editions, and the thoroughbass input options are just too limited. I need to be able to have smaller numbers on top and larger below. Full flexibility. In a large part of the history of thoroughbass, figures were dots on lines, rather than chord elements. Now, I need to make ugly workarounds with textinputs everytime I have a smaller figure on top and a compound below. This is really disturbing. I don’t know how much pain it would cause You guys to fix this, how many other users are disturbed by this, but for me this is a big issue. So, I would urge Dorico to reconsider the thoroughbass input system.

An example would be very helpful.
