Isn't it also weird that the pedal-off symbol is not horizontally aligned with the pedal-on symbol?

It compiles but with a warning: cannot find start of piano pedal: `Sustain', with respect to the sustainOff. The warning goes away if I comment out midi{}. However it would be nice to understand what is giving rise to the problem. I tried keeping the sustainOff in the bass clef, despite the voice crossing, but this did not help. Here is the measure in question: \version "2.20.0" upper = \relative c'' { \clef treble r2. \hideStaffSwitch\change Staff = "lower" r4*1/2 s8 \sustainOff | } lower = \relative c { \clef bass b8 ees, aes c, b \sustainOn ees' \showStaffSwitch\change Staff = "upper" aes ees' | } \score { \new PianoStaff << \new Staff = "upper" \upper \new Staff = "lower" \lower >> \midi { } } regards, Jim
