This is an attempt to use the lyrics package for pedal symbols.
It is a little(?) bit tricky, but amusant to do.

I define the '|' as '\lf' using math symbols, fine tuning horizontal with '\!'. The tilde (~) is for skipping to the next note without visible text.

For long sequences (see 3rd example) it is better to use '\beginmel' and '\endmel', they are shortened as '\M' and '\W'. The '\off{.1pt}' is there for an as small as possible not visible text.

Subject: [Tex-music] Piano pedal notation

Hi all.

Some music books use for the piano pedal a notation different from:

    P     Ped   *

, i.e. a straight and breaking line below the staff, something like this:


                         |__________________________|

or even

       _______________________________/\______________________________|
       |

, which is more precise than:

    P     Ped   *

.  Is anything similar possibile with MusiXTeX, and how?

Thanks for any help, bye

Rodolfo
