Harp pedaling
Harp pedaling is a broad term that covers the specific requirements for notating music for harps. This primarily involves harp pedal diagrams, which are often necessary due to the way in which modern concert harps change their tuning.
Partial harp pedaling
Partial harp pedal diagrams only show the notes whose pedal setting must change at that position, rather than showing the required settings for all pedals. This can make those changes immediately clear to the performer, as they have fewer pedals to read.
Allowing/Disallowing partial harp pedaling
You can allow/disallow partial harp pedaling for individual note name harp pedal diagrams. The default setting in Dorico SE is to allow partial harp pedaling for up to three pedal changes.
