Re: How to hide pedal markings in the engraving?

[Mats Bengtsson]

I've been using LilyPond almost since its first version, but I had no
idea that pedal marks made any difference to the MIDI output.
You learn something new every day. ;-)

Anyway, you could make two separate \score{...}, one for the
printed output and another for the MIDI output. To save some
typing, you might find the \tag and related commands useful,
see
