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.
Text pedal line signs
All types of pedal lines can have text as their start signs, instead of glyphs or hooks. You can override the text shown at the start of pedal lines that have text start signs, you can change the continuation text shown at the start of new systems, and you can override the restorative text shown at the end of una corda pedal lines.
Editing pedal line continuation text
You can change the text shown at the start of subsequent systems when pedal lines continue across system/frame breaks.
