RE: Fingering font size on grace notes

[Nick Payne]

This reduction seems about right to me, comparing the sizes on the normal and 
grace notes:
 
\version "2.12.2"

gfsn = {
        \once \override Fingering #'font-size = #-8
        \once \override StringNumber #'font-size = #-8
        \once \override Fingering #'padding = #0.2
        \once \override StringNumber #'padding = #0.2
}

\relative c'
{
        \override Fingering #'staff-padding = #'()      
        \override StringNumber #'staff-padding = #'()   
        \set fingeringOrientations = #'(left)
        \set stringNumberOrientations = #'(down)
        \tieDown \set tieWaitForNote = ##t
        <e-1\4>4 \grace { \gfsn <g-0\3>16[ ~ \gfsn <a-2>] } g4 
}
