I've already implemented that last saturday with commit 
d462d4c7c356124edd1c0f1ef6037335669f30b5
Looking at the harp diagrams, I really did not like the ellipse, which was too 
high for my tast, but not wide enough,,, With different padding in x- and 
y-direction it looks okay now.

Of course, if you have better default padding values, we can change them.

Yes, I tried rounded rectangles (my gut-feeling would prefer them), but the 
drawing routine has two problems: 
1) They are filled
2) They are printed after the pedal box, overwriting the box.

Cheers,
Reinhold
