Recall that we wanted to change the position of the 2 in
c-2 \stemUp f
Since the 2 is vertically positioned next to its note, we have to
meddle with the interface associated with this positioning. This is
done using side-position-interface
. The page for this interface
says
side-position-interface
Position a victim object (this one) next to other objects (the support). The property
direction
signifies where to put the victim object relative to the support (left or right, up or down?)
Below this description, the variable padding
is described as
padding
- (dimension, in staff space)
Add this much extra space between objects that are next to each other.
By increasing the value of padding
, we can move the
fingering away from the notehead. The following command inserts
3 staff spaces of white
between the note and the fingering:
\once \override Voice.Fingering #'padding = #3
Inserting this command before the Fingering object is created,
i.e., before c2
, yields the following result:
\once \override Voice.Fingering #'padding = #3 c-2 \stemUp f
In this case, the context for this tweak is Voice
. This
fact can also be deduced from the program reference, for the page for
the Fingering_engraver plug-in says
Fingering_engraver is part of contexts: ... Voice
