Thank you for the solution to this problem.  When I tried \cadenzaOn etc. before, I clearly did not get things quite right.  The example shown at NR-1.2.3 does not give details of what to do for instruments in a score which are not involved in the cadenza, and clearly I did not work out the correct

Hello, I would like to align the pedal bracket changes closer to the middle of the notes they’re attached to, instead of at the beginning of the note. What is the best way to achieve this? I have been using shorten-pair but that leaves too much space between the Ped. mark and the start of the b

I usually use an independent voice that can be populated with s values such that you can fudge the distances. If you have a pedal duration you want displayed as different from the rhythm for example c2 c4 but you only wish the pedal mark for quarter beat then s4\sustainOn s4\sustain off.  Regard
