### 5.2.3 Determining the grob property

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 note head. 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
