It is possible to move these things vertically by hand? I tried it with \relative c''' { \override SustainPedalLineSpanner #'padding = 8 c2~\pp\sustainDown \times 2/3 {c4 b bes} | aes8\ f \times 2/3 {d8-. bes8-. ges8-.\p\sustainUp } r2 | } but the pedal and the dynamic stay at the same place.

I send a copy also to bug-lilypond, since I think there's something fishy going on here with outside-staff-priority. Stefan has correctly recognized that the relevant layout object to tweak is not SustainPedal, but SustainPedalLineSpanner, just as you should tweak the DynamicLineSpanner and

It seems that there is some difference between what ends up on the log file if you run on Windows or if you run on some other operating system. I don't have a Windows box with LilyPond installed, in front of me, but when I run lilypond -dgui yourfile.ly in Linux, which should produce a log file

Open Tuning Conversion

Dear lilypond users, I'm copying some fingerstyle guitar score. Most of the songs are in open tuning (like D A D G A D) and crosstuning (like E-B-E-G-B-E). The notation is hard to read because it is totally different from standard tuning. I'm refering a standard 6-strings guitar. I'm
