I missed this point, now I can understand the behaviour of LilyPond

Oh, I see.
I thought that the "stretching" of numbers was caused by a fingering 
number made trasparent in TabStaff.
Now I understand that LilyPond makes this stretching to align the 
notes on Staff to the numbers in TabStaff.


In a word, \override Fingering #'stencil = ##f is useless
The only way to avoid this stretching is either removing Staff or 
placing the fingerings up or down (not aside of a note).

Thanks for the explanation.
