I disagree.
If you move the engraver to Staff, then you still have the problem
that you can't have a pedal with only one of two or three staves in
PianoStaff
Usually the piano has one pedal, it is used for the whole music,
disregarding if the music is written at two or three staves or
whatever.
Consequently the engraver should be moved to PianoStaff.
Hi Thomas,
I disagree as well. Piano's pedals can be put in various cases at
staff level. Think for example of a three-staves piano score, with
third staff for *mute* (resonance) notes and Sostenuto pedal, while
the second staff has dynamics and sustain pedal. Even in two-staves
scores, when you don't have enough space and the left hand is silent,
it could be useful to put pedals and dynamics on the right hand (upper
staff). But I can list other situations as well.
Then, a "staff default" seems reasonable to me. In Any case, the
"voice" default appears nonsense to me.
To me, the ideal default is PianoStaff.
Best would be to move the engraver as deserved. How to move engravers
is documented already...
So I can't see any need to do anything.
Where is it documented, exactly?

I struggled (and googled) a lot before knowing Timothy's tip...

Thanks,

Voice is the default location of the Piano_pedal_performer whereas Staff
is the default location of the Piano_pedal_engraver, which explains why
Paolo's score only produced an error when creating midi. Consistency
would be desirable.
