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.

You can merge existing sustain pedal lines together; for example, if you want to fill in a gap between two sustain pedal lines.
