Question about same-foot organ pedal substitutions

[Joseph N. Srednicki]

Hello

 

I am working on an organ piece I want to notate substitutions from heel to toe and toe to heel on the same foot.

 

I found a message from Kieren MacMillan in the mail archive. The message is dated December 27, 2007, and contains the following:

 

\version "2.11.33"
\layout { ragged-right = ##t }

\score
{
        { a^\markup { \concat { \musicglyph #"scripts.upedaltoe" "–"  
\translate #'(0.4 . 0.5) \musicglyph #"scripts.upedalheel" } } }
}

 

I tried to modify this code as follows to make my annotations consistent. See the pedal indicatation below the note b. The two symbols are out of alignment.

 

\version "2.19.39"

% layout { ragged-right = ##t }

 

t-h = \markup {\fontsize#-3 \concat { \musicglyph #"scripts.upedaltoe" "–"  

\translate #'(0.4 . 0.5) \musicglyph #"scripts.upedalheel" } }

 

t-ha = \markup {\fontsize#-3 \concat { \musicglyph #"scripts.dpedaltoe" "–"  

\translate #'(0.4 . 0.5) \musicglyph #"scripts.dpedalheel" } }

 

\score

{

        { a^\t-h  b_\t-ha}         

}

 

Can someone please explain to me how to line up the symbols in the pedal annotation under the note b?

 

Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions.
