If I do it in a new file, it works. The file where I was trying to do 
it did *not* work, so something else must be involved. I was probably 
not careful enough in the way I entered things (I am still not happy 
with the new method of measure expressions vs. note expressions). I 
cannot see what is different -- maybe I misplaced my pedal up symbols 
so that they were overlapping. But if I'd done that, then the upper 
notes would not have been sustained, so that makes no sense.

The key point here: the UI is not very well suited to doing any of 
this with any precision. Otherwise, I would have gotten what I wanted 
on the first try.
