Hi Paolo, well there are pros and cons both ways.

Your examples to keep the pedals aligned are interesting and without that, pedal marks inside the staff don't make sense IMHO. *With* your alignment functions I consider the results both approaches very close. > And you would fill the score with tons of redundant skips. Also a matter of taste and (more importantly) use case. I have a piece at hand with very regular pedal marks. It is basically a repitition of the same pattern. It is much cleaner to enter this with skips than in one of the voices. (By the way: Which one? The lowest?) So for me, the Dynamics context still needs less manual intervention but your alignment functions are great and I'll have a look at them for dynamics. Cheers, Joram
