settings to get closer to Sibelius

[MarcM]

I am trying to get a friend -- a sibelius user --  move to Lilypond.
I am getting closer to make him like the output. He likes the reduced amount
but still prefers the lighter output of Sibelius where as you can see:
1) most lines are thinner : 
    a) the upbow, 
    b) the note stem
    c) the measure bar
    d) the beam
2) the fingering numbers are not bold
3) the slur in the 2nd measure goes around the notes and really shows that
all notes are slurred

Anyone has already created a stylesheet to tweak similar settings?

My findings so far:


1) most lines are thinner : 
    a) the upbow,     

I found how to change the font size but not the thickness.

ub = #(let ((m (make-articulation "upbow")))
   (set! (ly:music-property m 'tweaks)
         (acons 'font-size -2
                (ly:music-property m 'tweaks)))
   m)



    b) the note stem
    => \override Staff.Stem #'thickness = #1.0    % default is 1.3,

    c) the measure bar line
    =>  \override Staff.BarLine #'hair-thickness = #0.5

    d) the beam
    => \override Beam.beam-thickness  = #0.4  % 0.48 is default thickness


2) the fingering numbers are not bold
=> how to change the default?

3) the slur in the 2nd measure goes around the notes and really shows that
all notes are slurred
=> I am aware of the shape function to avoid collisions. But in this example
this isn't a collision and wonder if there is a way to change the default
shape ?
