Aha, so it's supposed to be like a hyphen in a split dynamic marking like 
"cresc - en - do po - co a po - co" or similar.

I have never seen an edition where a pedal marking is written as "P - e - 
d". Do you have a feel for whether this is ever done in published music? 
If it's simply something that somebody decided would be a useful thing to 
have in LilyPond but there's no precedence for its use in the wider world, 
I would be inclined not to include it in SMuFL (particularly because it is 
surely not as useful as the more standard ways of notating the use of the 
sustain pedal, with the continuous horizontal line or the gap terminated 
by the *-like symbol).

Thanks!

Daniel
