Dear Friends,
I have so far only done 5 or 6 pieces in Lilypond notation. I
am very fond of the results. In my new project there is a challenge:
Ped-marks come too far below the lower staff, if I use a
separate dynamic-Staff.
I missed templates for piano-quartet/trio.
I used the Song or lied template after realizing that the
beautiful Mutopia-project piano-trio by Mozart in E-flat was
written with a Lilypond notation which goes longer back than the
first of my Lilypond-versions! Ugh!
I use 2.5.0 (or 2.4.0) and it works nicely.
My new template and 2.4 can do Ped marks without separate
middle/lower dynamic staff, just doing \sustainDown works.
However, the smart PianoTemplate solution allows markings to be
placed precisely where you want them using space-rests s2 s16. The
technique is to have an extra (virtual) Staff for Dynamics,
like this:
[...]
\context Dynamics = PedMarks
\lowerDynamics
%% \new has been replaced by \context in 2.4.x
So I added the necessary tweaks cut-and-paste from an older
piano-template, and it works BUT:
The ped-marks come too far below the lower staff.
The black magic tweaks are given here:

I updated them using convert-ly, not much was changed though.
----------------
The warning I get is not the real problem:
Full example http://d-axel.dk/pub/music/start/bk4-pedwarn.*:
Now processing `bk4-pedwarn.ly'
Parsing...
Interpreting music... warning: Cannot find or create `Dynamics' called `pedal'
[8][16][24][32][40][41]
[...]
----------------
But this is not the real challenge; the problem is that the
distance between the lower staff and the dynamic mark has grown
out of proportion.

POSTSCRIPTUM:
I will try to study more intensively on Gray Nereides and
examples from Mutopiaproject. One of the most fascinating is
the Chopin etude op.25-1. This is brilliant work, and I feel
stupid when I read the source. How did he find out?
Well, I better read the docs thoroughly, I have skipped too
many parts. However, are there any hints for a reader, then I
will be glad. I am impressed how much Mats Bengtsson helps
all of us people here on the list.
Thank you for any hint, and regards from
Donald
