Comment #3 on issue 1029 by address@hidden: \thumb should behave like  
other fingerings
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1029

So I would like to sum up all comments because I am lost on what to change:

Mats suggests this:
-       (avoid-slur . inside)
-       (padding . 0.20)
+       (avoid-slur . around)
+       (padding . 0.50)

Mark asks if we should add others properties from Fingering but received no  
answer:
        (cross-staff . ,ly:side-position-interface::calc-cross-staff)
        (font-encoding . fetaText)
        (font-size . -5)                ; don't overlap when next to heads.
        (positioning-done . ,ly:script-interface::calc-positioning-done)
        (script-priority . 100)
        (self-alignment-X . ,CENTER)
        (self-alignment-Y . ,CENTER)
        (slur-padding . 0.2)
        (staff-padding . 0.5)
        (stencil . ,ly:text-interface::print)
        (text . ,fingering::calc-text)
        (meta . ((class . Item)
                 (interfaces . (finger-interface
                                font-interface
                                self-alignment-interface
                                side-position-interface
                                text-interface
                                text-script-interface))))))

Can somebody tell me about that?
