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.
Sustain pedal retakes and pedal level changes
Pedal retakes indicate where a player should lift the sustain pedal, which dampens the piano’s strings and clears the resonance, before depressing the pedal again. Pedal level changes indicate a change to how far the pedal is depressed.
Removing retakes and pedal level changes
You can remove pedal retakes and level changes without deleting the sustain pedal line or changing its rhythmic position.

Removing retakes and pedal level changes

You can only remove one retake or pedal level change at a time.
Remove the retake or pedal level change in any of the following ways:
- Open the playing techniques popover, enter nonotch into the popover, then press Return.
  
  Note
  nonotch must be spelled as one word, without a space.
- In the secondary toolbar, click Context Menu and choose Pedal Lines > Remove Retake.

Result

The retake or pedal level change at the selected rhythmic position is removed, and the pedal line returns to its previous level as set by either the start of the pedal line, or the retake or pedal level change immediately preceding the one you removed.
