forest: Locally re-arrange a "tree branch"
tikz add tag
Dr. Manuel Kuehner 
 - This is a follow-up to https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/588018/.
 - The main question is, how to rearrange the branch "4.2" to save vertical space. Ideally, the branch "4.2" is flipped vertically (other ideas are welcome). (see **green** annotation)
 - Small additional question: Can I locally (for a specific branch) increase the separation to the neighbor branch? (see **red** annotation)

**Disclaimer:** Cross post (https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/588083)

Just to show how much daylight there is between some random attempt and a real answer by Sašo Živanović that you will hopefully get. The strategy here is to install `folder` for all but the root and another node. The manual `yshift` is ugly, of course. 
```

    draw,
    font = \tiny,   
  },
  for descendants={% switch on "folder" for all but one descendant
  	if={level==1&&n==5}{yshift=-1.7ex}{grow' = 0,folder},
