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.
