Giving fingerings extra space

From LilyPond wiki

Fingerings placed to the left of note heads can sometimes look too close to previous note heads. It is possible to use the extra-spacing-width property to fix this.

\version "2.24"

\paper {
  ragged-right = ##t
}

\relative c'' {
  \set fingeringOrientations = #'(left)
  c4 c c <cis-3>
  \break
  c4 c c
  <cis \tweak extra-spacing-width #'(-1 . 0) -3>
}
