Quick Tip: Remember, finger placement exercises are NOT to be used as a visual crutch, they are designed to get your memory working and improve your interval recognition. You also use them to build your own melodic rhythm while you listen to the melody you create. Rhythm must come from listening, never from a visual crutch, this is one of the secrets to playing by ear.
No.
