May 29, 2014 at 21:06 comment added jjmusicnotes @BraddSzonye - I completely disagree with you here. Figured bass is not a compromise - it was a short-hand used primarily in the Baroque period for the continuo to realize the harmony to support the melody. If anything, it may be considered a predecessor of macro-analytical notation used in lead sheets and jazz charts used by contemporary musicians.
