Fingering Spacing Bug

[David Raleigh Arnold]

I've held off upgrading from 2.2.6 to 2.4.2 because I wanted to finish
a project.

I converted this file from 2.2.6 to 2.4.2 and the bug is still very much
present.  

I know I could adjust one note at a time, but I think it's more practical
to wait until you fix this.  There is also a similar problem with horizontal
spacing, but that can be helped with a tweak.

The spacing of the fingering above the notes looks awful.  It will actually
give you a headache to read too much scale like that.  The height should not
be affected by the presence of a chromatic sign.

Why is it that this bug was around for so long?  Are people reluctant to
report something that doesn't actually stop the program?

The output of the 2.2.6 version of this file is at:

page 3 number 3.16.  The 2.4.2 output of the file below
seems to be identical.  daveA
