Hi Kieran,2013/6/14 Kieren MacMillan <address@hidden>
Hi Harm,Thanks!it's not completely clear to me what you want to achieve.I want this:1. Best Option = adjust the stencil of the bracket so that \sustainOff would print the entire grouping "/\_ sim."Please look at the output from the code below and tell what's good/wrong.The "sim." is in the wrong place, and there should be an up and down and small horizontal line right before it (as if the pedal bracket was continuing). Here's a (horrible) example:Kieren.
thanks for the image. I think I understand now, will try this evening.

Hi Kieran,
please try the code below (same attached).
Note that the \pedalSim has to be inserted before the PianoPedalBracket starts.
Behaviour at line-break is supported, though not widely tested.
Several comments in code.

ragged-right = ##t
