The placement of string numbers looks OK in situations where they go under the staff. But in most cases where they go above the staff, the default positions seems way too high. See attached file.

The placement is OK above single notes, but too high above beamed notes.

Agreed. I now have this change as part of my PR for #278999: Need option to completely disable Auto Placement, which may actually be merged soon. When that happens, the default will will be closer, and it will be easier to disable autoplace to move it onto the staff. but doing so does mean, no collision avoidance at all. So I do also still plan to submit a separate PR for #288431: String numbers: allow positioning on the staff, to allow all fingerings to be moved on staff without disabling autoplace.
