I think this dispute deserves an issue in our tracker. Obviously,
there are two engraving schools, an older one to which Paolo refers
(and what I would consider standard, too), and a newer one referenced
by Joram.
And please add scanned images of piano music to the tracker! I can
imagine that this eventually leads to two piano pedal styles in
LilyPond.
