As a beginner I've used 10-47 on an earlier guitar

I now use a Parlour short scale which came with Elixir 12-53s

I manage Ok and not so confident to drop a gauge on a short scale

I have some d'Addario and John Pearse to try next , both bronze 12-53

I really want to try a mixed set , keeping the 12 but something like 47 as heaviest and spread the range between.

When we talk as beginners it's usually the heavy strings that give us the grief when fretting

Not having any issue with my Faith Naked Mercury

A couple of steps up from my Tanglewood Blackbird which was my beginners acoustic

Any advice around strings for the short scale
