Re: String number in/out of the staff

[Nick Payne]

\override Fingering #'staff-padding = #'()         % vertical fingering 
inside the staff
\override StringNumber #'staff-padding = #'()         % vertical string 
numbers inside the staff
\override StrokeFinger #'staff-padding = #'()         % vertical stroke 
fingering inside the staff

To ensure that fingering etc avoids stems on chords, you may need the 
following:

\override Fingering #'add-stem-support = ##t
\override StringNumber #'add-stem-support = ##t
\override StrokeFinger #'add-stem-support = ##t

See s.2.4.1 of the latest notation reference.
