All pedal symbols can be customized, eg, use:
\property Staff.stopSustain = #"" % the default is "*"
\property Staff.stopStartSustain = #"-P"
\property Staff.startSustain = #"P"
See input/test/pedal.ly or some other test file. Default settings
can be found in ly/engraver.ly.

Wow, and that consumes 240 Megs? The coriolan seems to have 130 000,
and uses 110M.
