I try to provide a patch for issue #2185. The given solution simply reduces `Fingering.padding` from 0.5 to 0.3. However, this affects both horizontal and vertical padding, which is not what I want. I only want to change the horizontal padding, but it seems that we don't have a property for that. How could this be achieved with the existing machinery? Otherwise, would it be sensible to introduce new properties `padding-x` and `padding-y` that get considered if `padding` is not set?
