pedal markings in dynamic context

hi, 

i have a question regarding the spacing of dynamic contexts. given the 
following (contrived for simplicity) snippet:

<<<<

\version "2.17.22"
music = \relative c {
  \clef bass
  c4 c c c
  c c c c
  c,, c'' c c
}
pedals = {
  \repeat unfold 5 {s2\sustainOn}
  s4\sustainOn s4\sustainOff
}
\score {
  <<
    \new Staff \music
    \new Dynamics \pedals
  >>
}



>>>> 

this is a very simplified example, but it highlights the problem. is there any 
way to make the pedal markings in bar 1-2 and on beat 3 of bar 3 closer to the 
staff? i have attached a screen shot of a real world example -- bar 3 is 
particularly bad in this case, and i'd prefer to have the pedal markings closer 
to the staff.

i know i could twiddle the Y-offset for the given bar, but i have a gut feeling 
that it might be possible to move the whole dynamic line closer to the staff 
and let the pedal markings on the lowest notes drop below the "normal" line.

any ideas?

thanks, regards,
sb
