That’s not true: the amount of pressure applied by the dampers — from 100% to
0% — is graduated (based on how much gravity is

Hello Phil,
I don't write this stuff, I am merely the harmless drudge that tries to
engrave it!
Although I think it's somewhat stupid, I will say, speaking as somebody
who has made harpsichords most of my life, and messed around with many
keyboard instruments, it is possible to hear very,

I wonder if it is possible to indicate piano pedal gradual release off,
and gradual on, using curves? Please refer to attached shots of MS.

Greetings Aaron,
This is very exciting what you are doing! I have nothing to offer but
encouragement. As a professional pianist, I can tell you that the
technique is hardly new. As a composer who loves LilyPond, the ability
to at last achieve this pedal marking with a degree of flexibility is
Hi Aaron,
This would be great to go in the openlilylib library when ready, Thanks for
your help. I am sure that once available, many people will use this. It can
go alongside my pedal decoration code there (down with the help of several
others). Pedals have been somewhat neglected in lilypond,

Hi Aaron,

I use a wedge type symbol to indicate gradual release of a piano

I assume you know about this example:

My instinct would be to print the sustainPedal brackets normally, and
then hack the Sostenuto pedal stencil (in bracket mode as well so

Is there any support for pedal gradual release when using line and bracket
style where the gradual release ends in a sustain pedal off event? I am
aware that for a sustain on/sustain off event you can simply use bracket
flare settings, but in this case I need to influence the segment to the end
