Re: "fat" fingers

I can tell you from experience. Some actually lift the finger off the half hole, when they have a problem that you described. But teachers hate it...when I was at ABRSM, I'd get my fingers knocked by a hard stick for lifting my finger off the half hole for sure. When I was playing with orchestras, the ones with stubby fingers would actually lift their fingers off. So, really is your call what you feel comfortable with.....dont think it is a huge felony though!

If you can though, so as not to piss off your teacher, try rolling the finger outwards.

Hope you are getting somewhere with the timing thing !
