Ok, let me start off by saying that this is quite impressive. I'm not
sure who wrote the last incarnation of the dynamic-engraver, but I do
remember that it was much more hairy than I would like. (In fact, if
you have some documentation for the engraver, i'd be happy to include
it as a comment :)
Now for what needs to be done to the patch:
I disagree with

This is something that should be done via
scm/grob-description.scm. Perhaps you can put these settings in a grob
callled SustainPedalBracket, and switch between TextSpanner (or
whichever is the other alternative) and SustainPedalBracket using some
other property.
>if ( gh_scm2bool (s->get_grob_property ("text-start")) )
Please use to_boolean() for this. Scheme booleans and lilypond
booleans have slightly different semantics: in lilypond everything but
#t is false. In GUILE, everything but #f is true.
In general all grob functions should be foolproofed for the case that
any of the grob properties are undefined.
I haven't put in this patch. Can you try to incorporate these comments
into your lilypond and submit a new patch, either to plain .38 or
.38.chj1.
