| Great. That takes care of the issue with the rests, but not with the vertical alignment of the pedal brackets, which move all over the place to accommodate other objects. But knowing this about voices helps me a ton. I've learned Lilypond on an ad hoc, as needed basis, so there is still a lot to learn.

I think that when you say "If I put the pedal voice in the left-hand it forces all the rests in the left-hand voice to sit a fifth higher" you must be using implicit voices, which sets each voice as voiceOne, voiceTwo, etc, and therefore moves the rests to avoid collisions. I've not got time now to give an example of how to do this with voices, but try simply using \new Voice with both your music and your pedals (placed using spacers) and if you can't get that working, post a minimal working example that doesn't look right.
