If you look in the docs under the Fingering layout object, it says:

where the -5 represents the default. Therefore, you want to choose a
number between the default of -5 (which is too small) and the style-
sheet's "normal size" of 0 (which is too big). Start with -2 and see
how that works for you.

Well, that worked just great. Thanks a lot. I never would have guessed how the size increment divisions worked without your help, as it seems a bit counter-intuitive to me.
