'''Figured bass''' is a form of [[music]]al shorthand. Instead of writing down a tune, its [[bass]] line and the complete [[harmony]], the [[composer]] supplies the tune, the bass line and a series of figures (written beneath the bass line) to indicate the [[chord]]s he has in mind. | '''Figured bass''' is a form of [[music]]al shorthand.
