See input/test/text-spanner.ly for ideas.If you want all Ped and * markings to be on the same vertical position, then you can create them in a Lyrics context, like<< \new PianoStaff << ... >> \new Lyrics \lyricmode { \markup {...}2.. \markup {...}8 | ... }where the {...}s are substituted for something that creates Ped and * markings.
Why make such a complicated solution? It's easier to just increase the relevant staff-padding property: \override Staff.SustainPedalLineSpanner #'staff-padding = #4
I don't know about the conventions for pedal markings. Do you have any examples of hand-engraved scores, that show clearly that all pedal markings below one system should be vertically aligned? (in this case, I'll add it to the bug database)
I had a quick look in an album of Brahms piano pieces and I found at least a couple of examples where they didn't align the markings in similar situations. /Mats
