I have Pedal markings on a separate 'dynamics" staff within a PianoStaff
I need to place a sustainOff between 5th and 6th beats (on 6/4 time).
If I place the sustainOff on the 5th beat, the 6 quarter notes in the bass are kept at equal distances, however, if I place the sustainOff after the 5th beat, the
note column of the 6th beat is shifted left.
I'm attaching images of the typesetting:
PedalStaff1.png (equal beat spacing when sustainOff placed on 5th beat):
s1\sustainOn s4 s4\sustainOff
PedalStaff2.png (compressed 6th beat when sustainOff placed after 5th beat):
{s1\sustainOn s8. s16\sustainOff s4}, or {s1\sustainOn s8 s8\sustainOff s4}
I tried to replicate with a tiny example, but I can't replicate this shifting behavior :
\version "2.18.2"
\new PianoStaff
<<
\new Staff \relative c''{
\time 6/4
<<{ c2.( d2) d4 | c2.( d2) d4 | } \\
{ g,2. a | g2. a |}
>>
}
\new Staff \relative c'{
\clef bass
c4( ees f,ees'g f)
c4( ees f,ees'g f)
}
\new Dynamics {
\time 6/4
s1\sustainOn s4 s4\sustainOff
s1\sustainOn s8. s16\sustainOff s4
}
>>
The issue does occur in bar78 in the following score:
Any ideas as to why a separate pedal staff may influence the note columns in other staves?
