Re: Piano: partial pedalling

[Dijkhuizen, J.F. van]

Many thanks for this, Aaron; it's very useful and I could never have coded this myself.

I've meanwhile done some more searching and the 'pedal-decorations' notation snippets in OpenLilyLib also go quite a long way towards doing what I'm looking for.

There are a few ad hoc solutions if you search the archives.  You can
see if my hack [1] to the PianoPedalBracket stencil a few years ago
would be of any use.
