Hi Paolo, > I don't understand what you mean exactly, in the choral pieces.
A cappella choral pieces don’t include piano music, and therefore don’t include any piano pedal markings, and therefore don’t use or need the feature you’re describing — therefore, they are one of the [uncountable!] number of scores that are counterexamples to your claim that this feature is "an essential feature for any score". > But be sure that for any keyboard piece, not having the cautionary pedal > makes the score unpresentable, and not only when there are multiple spanners. I would estimate that I see cautionary markings in less than 50% of the [professional, published] scores in which the only pedal used is the sustain pedal. And of course, if no pedal brackets are used (e.g., if the piece simply states "Ped ad lib." or something similar), the feature you describe is again unnecessary/unessential. Summary: I’m pointing out that you are making sweeping generalizations that are easily disproven. The strength of your request/argument is likely not well-served by over-exaggeration. Simply state the [true and scope-limited] use case, and move on.
