Question in the title. Or rather: Is it possible to add a number below below the letter/numeral.

Well, there is no automatic built in formatting that does this, since I am not familiar with any notation that uses it. But assuming the program you are using this with provides standard superscripting and subscription controls, you should be able to use them. I'd recommend type a "" before the number so you start with a full sized number.

Is there a particular notation you are trying to emulate hgere? If it's something commonly used in published music/texts somewhere, I can try to figure out a way to support it more directly.

Thanks for the quick response!
I wan to annotate a cadence with (German) Functional Harmony which uses the number below the letter to show the bass note like this:

As you can see it also uses strikethrough and intertwined letters, so if you have an idea as to how I am able to emulate those I would be very happy to hear that as well. Note t hat some yet not all special characters are already available in "Function theory symbols" in the master palette.

Interesting! Unfortunately, this font was just never designed for that. It's conceivable these features could be added on, if you promise not to use the letters I, V, or B. as part of this. But, here I will appeal to the open source nature of this font, and say that if someone else who understands both font design and the specific style of notation shown wants to dig in and try to implement it, I will certainly consider merging the changes. Realistically, though, it might be better to do that in a separate font, to reduce the likelihood that changes made to support one notation style don't break the expected results for the other.

Actually there already is such a font, however I could not make it work in musescore (or Libre Office Writer for that matter) so I thought I would have more luck with your font where open type magic already works >.<
