Hi Knute; Thank you very much for the two sustain pedal spacer suggestions. I had tried quite a few combinations with the spacers but just couldn't get it to work correctly. I'll take a second look at what I tried and what you have suggested here to see where my imagination failed.

Here is an example of using separate contexts for the notes and the sustain pedal. I hope it helps: %%% \version "2.22.2" % These are just your bass clef notes bassNotes = { \clef bass 2 q | % m1 2 q | % m2 \break 2 q | % m3 2 q | % m4 \break } % Here is the first way of dealing

Hi Shane; I really appreciate your response, but I do not understand it, even after quite a bit of experimentation with it, I'm sorry that I'm quite dense. I have been able to solve the problem by using the bracket style of the sustain pedal as a workaround. Thanks, Ken On Thu, Mar 31,

This an old solution to put the pedal in its own context so you can add spacers as you see fit. Maybe there is a better way now, but this works pedal ={s8 s2\sustainOn s2\sustainOff } \score { \new PianoStaff \with { instrumentName = "Piano" } << \new Staff = "right" \with {

I forgot to mention that I've been struggling with this concept all day, with and without the use of spacers. There's something that I'm just not getting through my thick skull. On Thu, Mar 31, 2022 at 5:31 PM Kenneth Wolcott wrote: > > Hi; > > I'm engraving from an existing Piano arrangement
