Subject: pedal markings in dynamic context
hi,
i have a question regarding the spacing of dynamic contexts. given the
following (contrived for simplicity) snippet:
[snip snippet]
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.
That's the point of a dynamics context. From the NR: "Pedal indications may
be placed in a Dynamics context, which aligns them on a horizontal line."
Why not use a separate voice?
