Watch out when upgrading from 2.4 to 2.5 if you use lots of TeX markup (and it looks like you might, to achieve your /pedalc markup). Since 2.5 does not use TeX as a backend by default, you'll have to recode this stuff using standard markup. Version 2.5 writes PostScript directly without processing as TeX first.
