Due to a bug. (tracked as 2261)  Usually independent pedal indications
are placed independently as close to the music as feasible.  When note
protrude below the staff, that keeps the pedal closer to the related line
than to the next line.

{ \clef bass
  \set Staff.pedalSustainStyle = #'text % bracket mixed
  a,2\sustainOn a,\sustainOff
  a,,1\sustainOn }
