Hi Daniel, I would suggest using a second/hidden voice with skips for the pedalling instructions:
\version "2.18.2" \paper { ragged-right = ##f } \relative c { \set Staff.pedalSustainStyle = #'mixed \time 6/8 \clef bass << <a e' a>2.\fermata \new Voice { s4\sustainOn s\sustainOff\sustainOn s\sustainOff } >> } Hope this helps!
