Discussion on lilypond-user
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2016-07/msg00058.html)
show that it isn't that good. I think there *is* something to be done
about the current state but not really understanding what "vertical
space" is meant to refer to in figured bass docs
(http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/figured-bass) I'm
not sure how to modify the patch.

Well, I suggest to apply this patch anyway.  Rewriting can be done later on.

Well, "vertical space" really is an obscure description.  I think it's better to
describe this in terms of meaning rather than visuals, something like
"Accidentals may be used for modifying scale steps.  A modification of the third
is often indicated by solely printing the accidental.  For having the scale step
omitted, enter @code{_} instead of @code{3}."

Review changes after mailing list discussions

I think this chapter would deserve a lot more love but the proposed change is
still quite a step forward, so LGTM with the mentioned reservation.

I have no actual clue about figured bass, but do brackets around _single_
numbers make any sense?
