open string "0" size/height

[MichelRE]

I've taken your suggestions as a whole and applied them to my score: removed redundant fingerings, removed the fingering where it was obvious a repeated passage would use the same fingering, moved the fingering to below the notes.

I have to say that with your help this passage in particular is looking much nicer!

AHA! Octo, I was mistaken, she does NOT suggest that the fingering (or open string) be repeated on a tied note.
I was misremembering a comment about repeated notes being marked as such in certain contexts to ensure that a note isn't taken on an alternate string when the open string is desired.
(it was from page 395 that I was misremembering it)

Good! Thanks for confirmation.

Thank to you too. Good luck with the performance.
