Notation reference
Pedal lines
Pedal lines indicate to performers which piano pedals to use, and can also give performance instructions, such as how far down to depress the pedals and when to lift the pedal to clear the resonance.
Positions of pedal lines
The default placement of pedal lines is below the bottom staff, even if there are only notes in the upper staff for the right hand. They are placed outside all other notations, including octave lines, slurs, and articulations.
Changing the position of pedal lines relative to grace notes
You can change the start/end positions of individual pedal lines relative to grace notes.
