Arrggh, don't know how to get rid of that. I'm nearly ready to drop that 
email address.

Ok, that makes sense.
However I neither like the behaviour when putting it in the Voice 
context of the left hand. Then the pedal marks are _so_ inconsistently 
positioned. See attachment.

I think usually I'd like to have the pedal markings more or less on a 
consistent line (like in a Dynamics context), except for some cases like 
the originally posted image.

Is there any way to get that halfway automatically?
