I looked at the music.  Sustain on happened on each 1/4 note beat, sustain
off happened at the fourth  sixteenth note in each 1/4 note beat.  So I
just changed the pedal line to the following:

 pedal = {
         s8. \sustainOn s16 \sustainOff s8.\sustainOn s16\sustainOff
         s8. \sustainOn s16 \sustainOff s8.\sustainOn s16\sustainOff
}

And that worked perfectly from my point of view.

Thanks,

Carl
