But I don't think that's normal for continuo printing.  What you want
is a sharp, flat or natural that looks as much as possible as a
number, in terms of size and baseline.  Both \fetasharp and \sharp are
a bit big, and have a baseline that's different.  This edition that
I'm transcribing the Schütz from looks to me to be using a smaller
version of the sharp that's used on the staff.

Is there a way to use the next size smaller \fetasharp?
